Dash'n for Compassion '09 · 10 May 09
All I ever seem to blog about these days are races… it must be spring!
I ran the Dash’n for Compassion race last year (in 1:55:36) and had an absolute blast (and consumed my body weight in brunch afterwards). This year it was a too soon after the Vancouver Marathon and too close before the San Diego Marathon to race it seriously but I wanted to support the cause, get the shirt and eat the brunch so I signed up anyway.
It was the San Diego portion of the Team in Training ‘s “peak training day” so a lot of us planned to do the race together and treat it as we would any Saturday run (we even headed out for a nice 5km run before the race started). I planned to do the official 21.1km in 2:20 and I ended up doing in it 2:19:38 (I should be a freakin’ pace bunny!).
The race was fun, hilly and quite challenging. The brunch was big, bacony and delicious. The shirt is classy, comfortable and really good quality. What more could we ask for? It was a hoot of a morning and I am sure I will be back next year! WOO!
