Last running event of the year.
Seafair 2012
Seafair 2012 Finish Line
Kinda bummed, but I got other things going on.
Anyway, I probably could have done better, results are not yet in (as of this post) but I will post it up tomorrow.
This day totally exemplifies my crazy week. For one thing I was double-booked, had a party and this race exactly at the same time.
I dropped off my wife and kids at the party and rushed off to this event. I was maybe 15 minutes late when they closed the viaduct. This but some stress on me that I was not going to make it.
I went through town and was finally able to get to the Waterfront. I finally parked at about 6PM and my run started from there, luckily it was a only little more than half a mile to the start point. I got there at 6:15 (I probably could have made better time)
The race started and I felt pretty good, I made it, energy was up.
The end of the route is up a street called Broad. Most people walk up it, but the song Fighter from Gym Class Heroes started to play and I got a boost. That hill let me leave others that I was following behind.
So I think I actually had a decent amount left in the tank.
It was just a 5k for me, so when I found out my niece ran the 8k version, I felt like I was cheating and took a shortcut. Maybe next year I will do the 8k.
Anyway, looking forward to the break, next race Seahawk 12k, 2013.
