BRATS Frozen 5K - Race Day (1/8/12)

Hannah and I participated in the BRATS Frozen 5K race this past Sunday. It was a cool day at around 34F, but the sun was shining and we got to enjoy a relatively flat course. We started off pretty strong holding nearly a 7min mile for the first mile. We struggled a little during the second mile and at the turn-around heading into the last mile, but given it was the last mile we pushed it into the finish. Hannah did an excellent job cruising past her first 5K time of ~27:55 and finished in third place in her age group with a 24:40.

Race stats for Hannah:
There were 47 finishers in the Female 30 to 34 age group and 485 finishers in the 5K Run division. Her overall finish place was 115, and 3rd in age group, and a gender finish place of 30.
Pace: 7:57/mi

Race stats for Mike:
There were 26 finishers in the Male 30 to 34 age group and 485 finishers in the 5K Run division. My overall finish place was 113, age group finish place was 8 and gender finish place was 85. My time of 24:37.57.
Pace: 7:56/mile.

Good job!!

Next race will probably be one of the Valentine's Day titled races in Virginia. Likely, Run the One You're With 5k, but we'll see what's out there!

On a separate note, we are left out of the Rock N Roll 1/2 Marathon on March 17 since it just was sold out. The close date for registration was early March, and we somehow missed the boat here. So, now we're looking for another 1/2 marathon or a 10miler in the DC/MD/VA area before April 14 time-frame. Any readers out there, please suggest a race!

Bye for now....Back to training.
