Coogan's Salsa, Blues 5K -- completed!

Yesterday was the first official triathlon team practice! We did about 20minutes of running, and I was desperately seeking more, so today's race worked out well.

Great day for a 5K run, though it was a little cold. All along the course in Washington Heights (45min subway ride up to the top of Manhattan), were various types of musicians scattered to encourage us and entertain us. While I wasn't running a 15minute 5K pace, I did manage to keep my pace under a 10min/mile which is great because it was pretty darn crowded with lots of kids and walkers. Here's a pic for 4 of us (all finishers from Bermuda, and TNTers) who did this mornings race, and I knew about z4 other people running today.

I am 4/10ths of the way to qualifying for the New York City Marathon in 2014!!! (I have run 3 NYRR races, and volunteered for one, as part of the program 9+1).
