GO GREEN ST. PATRICKS DAY 10K/5K SUNDAY MARCH 14, 2010

The Inaugural Go Green St. Patrick’s day 5K/10K put on by Moshan productions. This race sold out and had around 700 finishers (10K female-288 male-147 5K female-208 male-77). The course was kinda crazy but it was a fun race. I bumped into one of my rivals at the race Monica Zhuang, she didn’t know that the race was sold out and she drove all the way from Belmont. She ran the race bandit and she kicked my ass even if it was unofficial. If she was registered for this race she would had came in first overall female in the 10K

We had Linh and his family volunteering at the water stop on mile 4 with Mike. I got splashed by Cameron to cool me down a bit. Herman also had his family volunteering at the finish line taking chips off the runners. Roni was also there not sure where he was volunteering but he will be out running the Oakland Marathon at the end of the month.

I was suppose to pace with Herman, but like every race I took off fast. Herman, finished in 39:17 placing 1st in his division and that was a week after finishing a 3:06 marathon in Napa. I finished in 43:29, I embarrassed myself by telling my rival I was trying to finish in 40 minutes. Debbie, wearing her crazy head gear finished in 49:57 placing 3rd in her division. Fumi, coming off a 5K a week ago finished the 10K in 1:01:34. Kelly, double dipping finished 1st overall female and 1st in her division with a time of 24:27 for the 5K.
