Shittastic 5k report!

[luvmygsp]

The race wasn't until 5pm yesterday...& it was about 90* & humid.

Sun was totally beating down on us (frying us like bacon), w/big ole rain clouds moving in & out the whole time. The race itself SUUUUCKED! Like, totally Sucked. The heat & humidity were horrendous! & it was raining on & off...

We had to stop & walk not even a mile in But we kept going & just ran & walked when we needed to, we ended up getting separated, but I went back for her after I finished & helped her push to the finish line. --> I was running w/my friend who has fallen off the run-wagon for the last month, & even before that she wasn't exactly a fast runner, not that I cared in the least! I told her I didn't care about my time, that I was going to stick w/her...this was the 1st race we ever ran together, & its a pretty big deal for both of us to even be able to run down the block.

Unofficially I think my race time was around 40:00. I cannot stress or describe how much it sucked, it was like, the ultimate suckness! Oh well, we survived...barely!!! Haha
I think thats the last summer run I'll ever sign up for!

Aw, sorry to hear it didn't go so well!

Oh man, that's such a bummer!! Glad you're finished with it!

I have a 10K in the evening next weekend, and I am not looking forward to having that same experience.

Ugh! I hate races that don't go like you want. Great job for finishing, though!!

*Why* would they hold a race at 5:00 p.m. in the middle of June? Yuck.

Sorry you didn't have a good race - use it as motivation to sign up for another one and just crush your time

My thoughts exactly!!
Haha yeah, next race my times gonna be sweeeet! Lol

I agree, good for you for finishing it in such horrible conditions! Now sign up for another one (at a better time of year!) and crush your time!

It was 85 degrees and humid at my 5K on Friday night - it was miserable so I feel for you. Great Job on finishing the race!
