Jim Kane Sugar Bowl 5 miler 2008

Thursday July 17, 2008 I ran the Jim Kane Sugar Bowl 5 miler for the 2nd year in a row. Even though my running had been shitty, I wanted to compare time to the previous year. Went w/ Funshine (new nickname for db) and Cleo. We drove which sucked because traffic was a bitch and I didn't think I'd make the race. Luckily Jake got there before me and had picked up my race packet. Funshine dropped me off to find Jake and he went to park. Found Jake and got my number on, made a trip to the bathroom even though the lines seemed too long, seemed plenty of time to spare. Saw some other CRCers, Jake's whole family was there, mom and brother were racing too, dad was snappin' photos. Didn't start that close to the start, this race has no chip so gun time is all there is. Wouldn't matter in the end, I slowed down. It was fucking hot that Tuesday night, too hot for me! Funshine and Cleo ran next to me at the start and then when they couldn't get further apparently Cleo was howling away, though I didn't seem to hear it. Maintained an okay pace for most of the race but I don't have any way to time myself right now, never got another watch after losing mine in Australia. Had to rely on mile splits which was better than nothing but harder to judge my pace. Started slowing down in the last mile and eventually got passed by Jake's brother and some CRC girls. Picked it up for the finish and finished less than a minute behind them so not that bad. Stuck around a little bit at the end for post-race food and stuff. But it was hot, I was drenched and we had Cleo.
