e love this race! This was the 4th time we've run this race and it's definitely the best course in Del Rio. My last "race" was the Wingman Day Challenge at Laughlin. Although I wasn't competing (because I didn't have a wingman) I still ran a quick pace. Unfortunately I was beaten by another instructor here at Laughlin whom I had not yet raced. I knew I had to redeem myself and this was my one chance since they were going to be at this race.
Rebecca was willing to run with Naomi because she's amazing. The weather and temperature were perfect. Our pack of 4 were together for the first half of the race. My main competition was a man named Vernon. We were neck and neck until about the last mile and a half. He started to fall back and I knew I had the race pegged. I picked up the pace and maintained through the finish.
This win meant a lot to me because I won the first year of the race as well. The last two before this one I got 2nd. Felt good to take this one again.
