Not sure why, but I've never done this race before. It was a nice discovery, realizing that it was a quick drive there on lovely country roads to the town. I drove up with Training Buddy Dave and parked at the local school, and picked up the shuttle for this lovely waterfront park. I heard there were about 800 runners in 2 races.
There was light rain at the start which dissipated about halfway through the run. The race itself was along small rural roads through the countryside - after the simultaneous 5k split off at their turnaround it was a lovely quiet run.
Clock crossing the finish line said about 2:02:30
Watch time 2:01:15
Official time 2:00:38
I enjoyed it enough that I signed up for an upcoming sprint triathlon and half marathon starting from the same park.
In other race planning news, I've started keeping a list of my upcoming races in my Facebook sidebar . A nice little feature to have there as a reminder of what I'm training for!
