Island Girl 10K

Can you say HOT?!

The temperature was somewhere around 28 degrees when we started and only went up from there. My pace was way slower than usual, as I had to walk significantly more often than usual. Thank heavens for water stations - I hardly drank anything, just poured it all over my head!

Temperature aside, what a great race! For a first-time event, this race was amazingly well-organized and a lot of fun. The course was great, as was the start/finish area. There were just over 300 women running, which meant there was no lineup for post-a-potties and very little delay or bunching at the start. I'll definitely do this race again next year, although I'm hoping the weather will cooperate and be a little cooler!
