Throughout the entire race, I felt very energized and strong. Had a LOT of fun, running and skipping around (literally in some spots, I was kicking up my heels lol). Though I probably ran faster than I should have (though it's still much slower than my shoe pace) and got a little too cocky sprinting in the last mile, (not sure what chip time is yet, but I came in around 2:11) but my foot is really sore though, to put any pressure on it. I'm hoping it's just sore and not a stress fracture (though I have sneaking suspicion that it is 
). I'll rest it for the week, maybe do some gardening and belly dance but that's it. I was the only one barefoot (thought Oso Norte was going to be there in VFF's though didn't see him). Did talk to about 10 different people through out the event about barefoot running though, they seemed interested. I hope I was able to put in a good plug, some of them had heard of barefoot running and were considering it. After seeing me there enjoying myself, I think they're a little more convinced
Overall, great event...just bummed I may have injured myself. I just felt conflicted with my own body, my legs and cardiovascular system wanted to rock and roll, but my feet weren't ready for that I guess and I failed to listen to the pain. Learning experience.
