I finished my 5 mile-leg in 47 minutes. I was estimating 50 minutes since it was my first ever 5 mile race, so I was happy with the results. Turns out I was the fastest of all 5 of us... We finished in 4:27 for 13 miles. My mental goal was 4:30 so we beat that, too. (The team goal was under 5 hours, but I had higher hopes!)
Anyway the guy that captained the team sent us out an email asking when I actually crossed the starting line, so he would know our actual race time. I emailed back that I didn't cross until 2:25 into the race since I was in mid-pack. I said I would love to come back if they would include me again next year.
He sent me a reply that he was afraid I wouldn't want THEM back!?!
I think I might love him...........just kiddin'
It felt good and now I have my sights on a 10K for March and a 12-miler for May. Plenty of time to prepare...
