Dan's Turkey Trot 5K
This race runs in-front of the house I grew up in so I have run it a few times. I have run the roads here hundreds of times and know the course blindfolded. However, I still can't break the 19 min barrier on this course. The course is difficult with a lot of hills. It starts and finishes at the low point of the course with rolling hills and a 169 foot elevation gain by the turn-around. They don't have the mile markers clear so I don't have my splits. I also traveled here from Vegas (where I lived) and the altitude change was drastic.
Overall, I felt lousy but ran hard. There was a HS X-country team running it so a bunch of younger kids beat me. I still won the 25-29 age group though.
