Race day

On Saturday my mom and I headed over to the expo. There were not many vendors (maybe 2) then Fleet Feet had a set up with race shirts and such. I bought myself a cute pink tech t shirt.
Goody Bag.....

I stayed at the host hotel so all I had to do was get up, eat and walk over to the start line a block away. It was so nice not having to deal with traffic race day! I even met a girl on the way out the hotel and we walked over together. We stuck together until the gun went off too! I love making friends LOL :)

 Start line sun still coming up...

 Everyone is ready to go (Oh sorry man that I caught the top of your bald head I just stuck my arm up and took the pic)

 On our way out of Rochester....

 OMG...is all I said as I snapped this pic of the guy running barefoot....Ok yes people do it. I listened to him say he trains all indoors on a treadmill.....THERE WERE 6MILES ON GRAVEL!!! I caught back up to him on that trail and he was trying to wipe the stuff off his feet every other step.

 WHOOHOO I am doing this....mile 9ish!

 Nice hill at 9.5 before I met up with Dud. I couldn't see a thing running into that sun!

 Ok so I didn't take photos for about 2hours....until I hit this....A HILL AT MILE 25 how rude!

 Bridge shot of the canal and downtown Rochester....home stretch!

 One more mile baby! At this point I knew I had a PR in the bag just didn't know by how much. Had to get through that last mile!

Those were the photos I got...waiting for the rest from my awesome family. Here are my cheer leaders!
