What was the race or running event?

The Sprouty 5k

How did the day go in general?

Well it was a beautiful day & my back finally felt well enough for a hard effort. Unfortunately I made a rookie mistake of trying something new on race day. After listening to a podcast describing the need for fuel before a hard effort especially for women I decided to eat 3 hours before the race. That did not go well. I ended up dry heaving & walking multiple times during the race.

What went well?

Somehow I finished 3rd & won a basket

What did not go so well?

As above

How did you prepare for the event? Anything you would do differently in training?

I had several good weeks of track workouts so that was good

Any notable moments?

It’s a beautiful community event that i highly recommend

Any changes you would make to how you ran?

No pre race food. May try liquid calories before hard workout to see if my stomach can tolerate but won’t do anything new on race day!
