When we got to the "training" portion, we started off with drills and then we had to run as many laps around the track within 10 minutes to give us a base pace. Then we did some core training and had to give an estimated time it would take to do 8 laps (2miles) and you could not use watches or timers. My estimate was 21:15. Coach Mike saw that I had my Ipod and broke the sad news to me that Ipods are not allowed during the event. OMG! I hate running as it is and the only way I can get through it is with music. Wow... 6.2 miles with no music. It was a sad moment for me! So, I proceeded with the 8 laps with no music and I finished at 21:07! 8 seconds off my estimate! People are really in tune with their pace because I was tied for 3rd. The gal who won was 1 second off her time!! Maybe I should improve my pace so it'll take me less time to do the event! LOL!
Aloha,
