I absolutely love those rainbow tights and the colorfulness of your entire race outfit. You exude energy and vibrancy!

And I'm really impressed at how fast you were able to stop during your 2nd mile!<br /><br />I thought this was a really great race too, but I've never been to anything put on by Fleet Feet that wasn't really well-run.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18403024177515079403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-51757447649930109422013-05-28T10:12:54.330-05:002013-05-28T10:12:54.330-05:00Congrats on the PR and way to beat your dad's ...Congrats on the PR and way to beat your dad's predicted time! I wouldn't worry about the potty stop, it happens! It looks like it only took 28 seconds over your average and it gave your legs a momentary break early on (which is good). Anyway, I did not realize that this had a long stretch on LSD. Makes me want to consider running it next year. Nice recap and excellent pictures as usual!Pete Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655789227670205830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-18464923150218617012013-05-27T23:26:15.516-05:002013-05-27T23:26:15.516-05:00Congrats on the awesome PR!!

Well, I already was (derp) but now I am EVEN MOARRRRR excited!!! :)<br /><br />Congrats on a great race! I need to try this one someday! It sounds like they are constantly improving it, with closing traffic, and I heard parking is included (not that YOU need it, ha!)? The only issue I heard about was packet pickup... but also not an issue for you. Anyway, congrats again!!! :)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03201592937889358953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-13437895756895706682013-05-26T10:24:02.238-05:002013-05-26T10:24:02.238-05:00Great job!
