2:40? Really?

I'm a little perturbed, okay a lot perturbed! Got my final conformation in the mail for my 1/2 on Sunday and Rock-n-Roll Dallas put my estimated finish time at 2:40? Really? Not only that but they placed me in corral 12! I know I am not fast by any measure but come-on where do they get their numbers! I ran my last 1/2 at 2:27 and that was with at least 5 quick stops to get fluid or hug my family. It is really discouraging to my goal that they put me so far back in such a large race. I remember having to maneuver around tons of people as well as deal with those individuals who make abrupt stops right in front of you in my last race!!! I was really hoping to see a better time for this 1/2 but all I feel right now is frustrated that I am already going to be starting out at a deficit. I will have my work cut out for me! Today I am not happy about this race!

don't be frustrated!!! you can get your corral changed at the Expo - look for the corral change booth/table! =)

I am not ready for this race. I had hoped to be more prepared than I am...coming back from an injury is rough! Ah well...I will just do my best and see how it pans out. No matter what - I will finish, so that's something! ha!

I'm in Corral 14 and that won't be changing cuz I'm a special kind of turtle! ha! Come find me on Sunday if you get a chance. I'll be wearing a white Nike tank! =)

Kim you will rock it! I know I sound all whiney about the corral. I think had I not had so many crowd related issues in my last 1/2(such as no fluids left on the tables)I would just roll with it and I had hoped to improve my time. Knowing me I will make the mental adjustments once I get there. I will look for you I will be wearing a black visor and a blueish skirt and top. Have a great race!
