Chilly Chili 5k - Orange, CT

What a way to start off the year. Today I ran in my first race of 2010 and my first race in CT. Minus going past the exit on 95 and forgetting to eat much before the race today was great. The roads were a little slippery, especially around corners, but nothing that got in the way of going too fast. I gave myself plenty of time since I don't know the area that well, and didn't pre-register. Plenty of time to have a snack before....oooops forgot my granola bar and water. Lined up sort of near the front after a nice warm up and we were off. Had to weave and fight my way through ALOT of people. Guess I'll line up further up next time...I'm still learning where to start races from. Really not much to write about for this - I ran a majority of the race alone which allowed me to just zone out and run. After I finished I got myself a nice bowl of chili to warm up with. Great race and again what a way to start off the new year.
