Oh My Gosh! So Much to Say...So Little Energy to Type It!

What an amazing, crazy, fun, and tiring day it has been!  Over the next few days, I promise to share all of the wonderful details with you.  For now, I'll keep it short because, as you can imagine, I'm damn tired!

The long & short of it is that I officially completed 27 laps of a 1.24 mile course, and it took me 5 hours, 44 minutes, and 19 seconds.  Only full laps are counted, and when I crossed the timing mats at 5:44:19, I was pretty sure I couldn't do another lap in 15 minutes.  Turns out, looking at the lap-by-lap breakdown, I might've been able to pull it off!  Truthfully, though, I'm completely happy with how I did.  Oh, and I also placed 3rd out of the 15 female runners!  That was shocking!  (A full list of results can be found here: http://www.splitsecondtiming.com/results/2015/vistaindiv2015.html.)

In case you're wondering why Judy's screen shot shows just over 5 hours and 22 minutes, it has to do with a RunKeeper setting.  I've got an auto-pause feature that will stop the tracking when the speed drops below 3 mph.  After about 2 and a half hours of running, I realized that it made sense to swing by my cooler and get something to eat or drink after almost every lap.  Even though I kept moving by pacing back & forth as I was eating or drinking, RunKeeper was stopped.  I probably should've turned off the auto-pause to keep the time more accurate.  Oh well...I know for next time!  (Did you catch that?)
