Metro 5K

It was a nice event about 200 runners. I arrived at around 7:15 picked up my bib number and my goodie bag. It was sunny out but a bit chilly but I was dressed for the temperature. This was not a chipped time even but still it was timed, plus I had my HR monitor on a ready to go. We started at 8:00. The first mile seemed tough for me I was a bit tired since I did do a bike drills clinic yesterday with my Tri group, it was pretty easy and I did not push to hard on it. It was a nice course for this 5K through the campus and some streets near downtown Denver, the skyline view is awesome. Around mile I started to think wow what is 13 miles going to seem like when I run my first half marathon in about a month. I know I will be fine and I look forward to it with the thousands of other runners. After I reached mile 2 I said mmmm there is one mile left and you better get going! I had few people ahead of me that I thought that maybe I could pass one of them I did and it was at the very end near the finish shoot. I did feel at the end that I was giving it my all since I started to feel a little like oh wow I might get sick LOL. My friend Becky always has told me if you feel that way as you get close to the finish line you know you have given it your all! Speaking of Becky she finished the Iron girl olympic tri in Las Vegas she was 2 in her age group I think there was 5-6 in her age group. I am so thrilled for her! cant wait till she post her race information. She inspires me! Next even coming up first part of May a 10K in Steamboat Springs CO my first run at a higher elevation then Denver, it will be a good challenge for me.
