Vibha 5k

Well, we’ve got another one in the books!  Last weekend, we did the Vibha 5k over at White Rock Lake.  It was a really small race compared to the other ones that we have done, but it was very well put together and we had a great time!  Even though we shaved 1 minute off of our 5k time, we could have done SO much better!  I think every race teaches me many lessons and this one was no exception.  This time I learned the lesson of proper pre-race preparation.  I thought I could go out on Friday night for a couple of drinks…well, a couple turned into a few and a few = dehydration the next morning.  I tried to gulp down water before the race, but the damage had already been done.  The race also started a tad bid later than it was scheduled for so it ended up being pretty hot for the actual race.  Dehydration + heat = upset stomach and stomach cramps 1/2 way into the race…not good.  I struggled through it and my amazing hubby would not leave me behind even though I was begging him to and we ended up pulling out a PR even with the not so ideal conditions.  So, next time, NO boozing it up the night before!  Here are some of our pictures and the race pictures.  Note to self, never wear a running skirt to a race again…I HATE the way all of the pictures turned out, but I’ll share them anyway so it’s not just a big post of text.  Enjoy!
