Ran the JFK Runway race this morning, it was a very interesting morning. It was a much bigger race than I anticipated & pretty disorganized to boot. We all met up at an airport building, where hundreds of people were mulling around. Soon enough we made out way to buses, where we were stalled for more than 15 minutes as the drivers figured out the race location. After finally making it to the start, the race officials delayed the race for about 20 minutes...but since it was a nice day, it wasn't all that bad.

It was a simple out & back course, basically about 1/4 on a somewhat windless strip going out, followed by over a mile of running with wind at our back. At mile 1.5, we looped around a jet & made our way back...but the wind conditions were crazy. I tried to draft as much as I could but that barely helped. I started out in 5th position & made my way to 3rd by 2.5 miles...but the last girl I passed made her way back to me & out sprint me in the end. I wanted to try harder & was disappointed that I didn't give it more.

M did great, getting 2nd female...K & the hubs ran well too. We didn't stick around for awards, decided to get the hell out of there & head back to Brooklyn where bloody marys & eggs benedict were enjoyed by all.

Distance: 3.1 miles + warmup
State of Mind: Racing is fun, beater a girl on the last stretch is funner
