Even though it was colder today (26 degrees) when compared to the race last week (35 degrees), it was still very fun. I had on 3 layers on top and 2 layers on the bottom. For this race it's encouraged to wear clothing items to represent your favorite football team. I couldn't run in my New York Giants hoodie (too bulky), so I decided to wear one of my Giants shirts underneath my jacket.

The course was pretty manageable compared to all the inclines and hills. There were still quite a few rolling hills (I think 4 or 5). In the beginning of the race, it was hard to get into a rhythm because I couldn't feel my feet and I had to weave around people. This lasted for about 2 minutes but after that everything felt much better (I could feel my feet and hands).

Halfway through the race, runners were able to "vote with their feet" by running under either the Seattle Seahawks or New England Patriots banner. Of course, I picked Seattle. Seems like many runners (57%) agreed with me because Seattle won the competition! :)

I ended up finishing the race in 43:10. I'm happy with that time since my ankle is still bothering me from last week's half marathon. After picking up water and a green bagel (dyed for the Seahawks), I ran into my friends. No bling for this race but we did get a nice long sleeve shirt. I was so happy that they actually had size small shirts available at bib picket this morning (they never happens!)
