June 13, 2014 - BlueShore Longest Day 5k (BC Provincial Championships)

16th F40-59 (16/184), 38th Female OA (38/435)

1k in 6:20 (with my family)

We really enjoyed running the 1k route around Athlete's Village (Vancouver 2010) with the other families in the race. My 4 year old amazed me with her winning attitude!

Family huddle (and cuddle) at the start:

At the finish line with my little one:

Farther back in the field than I like but it's a tough course when you're out of race shape.
