Hannukah Hustle - Race Report

Posted on: Sunday November 23 08:06:18 PM
My first 5k in 6 months. A distance I have not really trained properly for but with all of the running I did this Summer/Fall I figured I may be able to pull of a sub 20. Well, I came in at 20:21.I cramped and couldn't hold the pace. The race was a tough one, with icy hilly conditions, but good temps though. No more eating a big breakfast so close to a 5K race. I guess I am just used to prepping for marathons ;)
I finished 2/7 M40-41 and 25/163 overall, but got 1st place medal 'cuz first Master didn't get 2 awards.
The real story is Sarah, who is doing so well.
Sarah was 1st.....female....overall in a race to the finish with a 20 year old McMaster track member, she got to bust the tape which I could see, and hear them announce her finish, from my spot 25 seconds behind her.
She busted sub 20 -------- 19:52 !!!!
$50 Running Room gift certificate for her.
Damn 15 year olds! AND she beat me in our personal race to sub 20. We were supposed to pace each other and cross together but when I felt that cramp at 3k coming on, I told her not to let me drag her down. I was hoping to catch back up but it was not in the cards for me this day.
My proclamation....at Dec 13th's Santa Jingle 5K in Brampton, a flat route, I will finish in 19:45!
There, I said it, now I gotta do it!
Good showings from our good running friends, Nir, Julie, Ginny and Walter today, while Mrs Daddyo spent the weekend in Guelph on a work conference.
I am dead tired, yet masochistically looking forward to next weekend's Chilly Willy Half Marathon. Weather permitting
Then, the weekend after is Las Vegas with Nir & Julie and our now infamous Half Marathon of hope!
