I decided that I was not going to race yet after everything happening lately but I couldn't resist. Especially when there is cash and fabulous prizes to be had. The race was run 4 laps around the park about half on the grass and half on the pathways. Down about 1% incline one side and then back up on the grass and through the trees. Then up and over the bridge and around the duck pond. Last year they ran only 3 laps and some people said that they came up way short on distance so I'm not sure how accurate this course was. But it was basically a cross country course and a heck of a lot fun especially when you are lapping people and they are cheering you on. I almost fell into the creek trying to get around somebody on the bridge! Afterwards I went home with a $100 dollar check and a smile on my face. I kinda like this cross country running thing, my only regret is I wish I had done it when I was younger also. |
