Got up to Loa in time to do about 9 miles to warm up. Then the kids race started first so I got in another waiting. It's so very hard for me to run good here. The elevation of the race is from 7,100-7,300 ish. First mile climbs out out town. After about .6 into the race I started to feel totally "DEAD". Like done. Really struggled to even finish. Won but didn't have much of a field of seasoned runners to outrun.
Entry was $10. For winning I got a year of free entry to Wayne High sports activities... Not much use to me in STG. So I sold it to a friends dad for $30. A good deal for him and some spending cash for me to buy lunch with. :)
Went to the parade after where my Grandma who is 97 year old was honored as the Grand Marshal and the oldest living graduate from WHS. As WHS is celebrating it's 100 years... She graduated in 1935. The had her ride in a Razor side-by-side for the parade. She wore some cute white gloves like a princess. She was cute. I love her. She's actually my great-grandma but I lived with her and my great grandpa in high school. She's a trooper and a half. My kids have a great great grandma alive and still living by her self. Goes up and down stairs... steep stairs too. sheisawesome. highergenes
50.4 mile bike ride this afternoon with my friend Rocky. It was fun for us to ride here in the valley of our youth. It was hot and sunny though as we didn't get out until about 3p.m. I'm kind of sun burnt from a full day in the sun. The ride was pretty chill. like 19 mph avg.
