This Week’s Topic: Race Reports
This Week’s Question: Do you enjoy writing your race reports? Do you use them later for reference?
Yes, Yes!!! I’m getting better at it too. I’m adding more details and photos so they will be more helpful if I run the same race again. They help me reflect on the experience and if it was a good one, prolong the endorphins 🙂
Yes, I read the past ones and use them to see what my time was, if the course was hilly and if it was crowded, etc. It even helps me decide if I want to run that race again.

I like to look back on them from time to time mostly just for memories. It can be interesting to see the things that worrried me back in the beginning of this whole process. Those same things seem kind of insignifcant now. Blogwise, sometimes I wonder if I go into too much detail but then I guess ultimately the blog is for myown personal record so I should talk about things that I think are important to the report.
