The Race Pt. 1

I suppose I should actually talk about the race from the past weekend since I finally found the pictures at fotojack.com. I guess they are kind of like the road race version of prettysporty. The race was a 5k in Alexandria and I ended up hitting 15:55.
From when I woke up I knew this was going to be an interesting event. My stomach was an intense amounts of pain and I knew exactly what the problem was but I did not have the time to take care of it.
Next I arrived fairly late and the line for the bus to get to the start was too long for my patience so I decided I would run to the start and I would just run in trainers. At this point my stomach is still killing me and I have to go back to my car and get in my racing gear and start my run to the start.
I was kind of nervous because I had never done the race so I didnt know the course but it turned out that everything was marked well enough that I found my way to the start fairly easily.
Of course when I get to the start the line for the bathroom was outrageous, so the stomach issue was starting to get more and more troubling. Well I decided to jog a little more and see what I could see; and low and behold a park was found. So I headed into the woods and finally took care of business.
Well that was the prerace adventure now about the race...
