The Little Things
May 5, 2015

While I already shared my race recap for the Indy Mini, there were a few details that just didn’t make it into the recap, so I thought I’d do another post so I could share them all with you! Here’s a few fun facts about the weekend:

1. On Friday I left work early so I could get to the expo at a reasonable time, while still giving myself time to hang out at the nuun table. Things were really busy when I got to the table, so I ended up jumping behind to talk to runners coming through the expo all about nuun. I loved watching them taste the 10ish flavors we had set out and figure out their favorites, and I loved talking about my favorite hydration for a few hours. While there, I also stalked up on some great products!

2. Like I mentioned, I had a pretty bad attitude leading up to the race, and I knew that I needed to turn it around quickly. I rented Amy Purdy’s book On My Own Two Feet. She’s a double amputee whom I first heard about as she competed on Dancing with the Stars. She’s also a paralympian in snowboarding. I knew that listening to her story would help with my attitude, and it sure did! I listened to it as I drove back and forth to the expo, and listened to it as I drove downtown on race morning.

3. I’ve mentioned in other race recaps that I race in grey or silver nail polish. Since I hadn’t had an time goals, I thought I would break the tradition of grey polish and stick with my coral color (Live.Love.Carnaval by OPI). It really wigged me out all week leading up to the race, but I guess it worked out just fine. I have so many ridiculous race traditions. (I’m just a little stitious…- anyone know who said that?)

4. I pre-hydrated and re-hydrated with watermelon nuun (I think I mentioned that in my race recap). Again, I want to say this- if you like the taste of watermelon at all, make sure to give it a try. It’s absolutely delicious, and is light and refreshing. I have 5 tubes of it right now… 🙂

5. Tattoo pictures are a thing that apparently I’ve decided to do. Here are some of my tattoo pictures from race day (I need to get better at focusing on the tattoo and not just one whatever is behind it).
