Zoo Run

Today was my race in the zoo! It was a great course, but very hilly. My cousin also ran with (OK, ahead) of me. Both of us shaved about a minute and a half off our last race times. It was a very exciting day! That was my best race yet... 33:09. Very excited about that!
Here are a few tips for runners in future races:
1.) Don't cheat. If you cut off part of the race course to better your time, you are only cheating yourself.
2.) Don't wear perfume... it really smells nasty after you bath in it and then sweat while you run. Plus if it is too strong you will offend your fellow runners....
3.) Don't take small kids who have no concept of how far 3 miles is.... I don't want to get schooled by a 7 year old at the start of the race and then school them 1/4 later, really I don't feel so good about that.
4.) Race helpers, PLEASE make sure that there is enough water for the actual runners. We are tried and want a drink when we are done. It is not people who are just standing around watching us run our bottoms off.
5.) If you don't look good without your shirt, PLEASE keep it on.
6.) Have fun! Don't take it so serious that you miss all the fun of running with a pack of competitive people!

Hopefully my tips will help my fellow runners and race officials in the next race. :)
PS- this is the second race that I've done where water was not available to the runners....but observers sipping water.
