Big Gay 5K - 9/9/18
This was a really fun race! The course was 6 loops and for each loop, I got a colored bracelet. When I finished the race, I had 6 colored bracelets that made up the pride flag colors ❤
I accidently forgot my handheld at home but I didn't panic. I don't really run without a handheld so I had to pay attention to how I was moving my hands/arms more and I probably lost a few mins chugging water at the aid station but I wasn't going for a PR today so it was okay.
Legs felt good throughout the race. I decided to do run/walk intervals 3:1. My running pace was about 9:20 to 10:00. As always, the heat slowed me down. I tried to run in the shaded areas of the course.
I walked around Pridefest for about an hour afterwards.
