2011 Winter and Spring Races

New York City Frontrunners Indoors Masters Track Meet
1 mile and 2 mile races.
Not a lot of expectation for my first time running on a short track.

Cherry Blossom 10-Miler
Personal best for this distance in a very hilly course! This was definitely my best race so far this year.

Garden Spot Village Marathon
I started out slow, and got slower and couldn't keep up with my 3:40 pacer ladies.

Dirty Germans 50k Trail
Kind of easy course for a trail run. I had a modest goal of finishing under 6 hours, and I did.

JWJ Beach House Memorial 5k
Bethany Beach, DE
I had problems breathing in this race due to the high humidity and my lack of training. I still managed to get 3rd place in my age group!

Penn Relays

My Penn Relays debut was more nerve-racking than any other running races that I had done. I was sharing the track with some of the greatest runners at high school, college, and professional level. It was my first time ever racing on track. It was the first time I raced for only a mile.

My splits were very revealing
75
89
95
89

Mile = 5:48

I started out fast. I had a great first lap but couldn't sustain the pace. My third lap was rough, and I barely recovered enough to bring it home. On a good note, I didn't trip on the track and I held on to the baton. My team didn't finish last!
