So I decided...
Both the 5K & the Sprint Triathlon this weekend.
The more I thought about the triathlon, the more I talked myself into it. I had already paid the $90 registration fee, I would hate to see that money go to waste! It is a sold out race, and I would feel bad not showing up, when someone really wanted to be there. The race is "supposed" to be flat & fast, and the Athenas are in the last swim wave. I managed to get one more swim practice in on friday morning, and felt a little better about the swim. Now I need to get to packet pickup today, then start laying my gear out for tomorrow!
Today, I met my friend Debbie in Longmeadow for the BJ Williams Road Race, to support the Brain Injury Association of Massachusetts. Kevin's mom suffered a traumatic brain injury almost 4 years ago, and we are still dealing with the many complicated things following that, plus my area of work, made me really want to support the cause.
It was a small race, non chip timed, through the fairly quiet streets of Longmeadow. I started off a little too fast, got pretty tired near the end, but sprinted to the finish I chicked 2 girls (one had a jog stroller). That made me feel good haha
The bad, I missed my goal finish of under 30 min by 2 seconds, clocking in at 30:01.
Good? 30:01 is a new PR!!
When I got home, I checked the goody-bag they gave us, not too shabby for a cheapie local race!
Definitely a quick easy race, close to home, for a fabulous cause! I was really glad I joined Debbie for a mood boosting run before tomorrow's triathlon. Time for packet pick up & sneaker shopping with my mom!
