Got to the race and it was pretty cold. By the time the race started it had warmed up a little. I did about a mile warm up around the park and stretches before the race. I got a good start and ran the first mile with Clare Mantz. When I looked at my watch after the first mile I realized we were going slower than I wan't to. So I picked it up a little on the second mile and still stayed with Clare. The third mile I was just worried about my time so I pretty much sprinted the last mile and crossed the line at about 22 minutes. It was slower than I wanted but the race was still super fun and I got first in my division. My calves really hurt at the end. I think it's because I've been doing a lot of hills this week and harder workouts. When I got home my calves were still hurting so I went on a short 8 mile bike ride.
