Rex Lee Run

Rex Lee Run-- This is my second time running this race.  I remember it had a wicked down hill which had me nervous.  I hate down hill more than a baby goat hates twinkies.  I showed up to the race just in time and noticed that there were multiple enourmous lines in order to pick up your race bibs.  So I had to stand in line for like 20 min- which meant zero warm up just to get there and have them refuse to give me my number because I didn't have any ID on me.
Who carries ID with them to do a 5k.  This was a crazy fiasco and many people were mad, bad move rex lee race peeps.  Even if I had an ID I don't think I would have been able to find on with the name voldemort krompleton on it.  Also they could use a better prize drawing--just sayin
So bereft of a warm up I started the race and sat on the overly excited highschool runners through the up hill and then took off on the down hill.  I felt OK for the race my training has been going good. The race was OK, I could have worked a bit harder over the last mile but succumbed to the large lead.  After the race I put in a good 14 mile cool down which chaffed so hard. When I got home and jumped in the shower that sting of the water dropped me to my knees and I threw up.  YEOWCH!!!
