Race Updates! April and May 2015

I've been busy since my last post.  April and May are always chock full of great races.  This year many were cancelled including the Kids 5k and the North Shore Marathon but that didn't stop me from enjoying my love of racing.  This year I once again did the Wahiawa Pineapple 10K and the Hibiscus Half Marathon and I also added in the Honolulu Triathlon competing in the Sprint Tri with two awesome friends!  Here's a re-cap of each race.

Wahiawa Pineapple 10K 5.16
Ran a solid run and finished with the same time as my Ford Island 10k:  54:21.  I was disappointed to know that this year's age group winner ran a 53 minute 10k.  My PR at this course is a 52.  So close.  Anyhow, it was as usual hot, humid, hilly, and shadeless but still a run I love to do.  It's close to home, starts and ends at a great school, and you get pineapples and a medal!!!

Honolulu Triathlon 5.17
Ran the 5K leg while my friend Kathy swam the 800 meters and Dee rode the 12 miles on her bike.  We came in first place for women and I PRd the 5k course with a 24:41 split.  Yay!

Hibiscus Half Marathon 5.24
Missed a PR by a little over a minute at 2:06.10. I went to the bathroom at mile 2.  Yes I am beating myself up about it. Grrrrrr.
