Just with how far back we started, it might have made more sense to have a 3rd wave so we didn't have to wait around 45 minutes after the corral closed to get to the start line. (We got into our corral about 15 early anyways.) It was just A LOT of waiting around. Loved the race and had fun either way!!Kelly @ Running Kellometershttp://runningkellometers.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005464141741044836.post-48164480266687927462013-04-11T15:05:29.777-05:002013-04-11T15:05:29.777-05:00Congrats on keeping your shamrock streak alive!

It is all about moving at a comfortable pace for me.

It really is a great one!<br /><br /><br />For next year, I would highly recommend checking out the start times for the various corrals to see where you fit best. If they assign you to a place that doesn't seem to work, you can get it revised by sending in a qualifying 5k time. :)Kelly @ Running Kellometershttp://runningkellometers.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005464141741044836.post-10671255484251832702013-04-11T09:46:42.322-05:002013-04-11T09:46:42.322-05:00Great pictures, congrats on the finish.
