I read about this little race in the Clipper, and went with Spencer to check it out. There were about 40 participants, 10 of which were kids. My daughter said she'd run, but when I woke her up she said she'd been coughing all night, so she bailed. I ran a couple miles around home, then drove to FH. The course was out and back, up a hill then back down. 7:50 (the hill was a pretty good pull), 6:50 and 5:50. Garmin measured at 3.03. I got $20 at Crown Burger and some hot cocoa. It was a lot of fun. If all races were free, I'd race every weekend. I love finding a race that is so small, even I can win.

Thanks for the kind words. I've been thinking about chocolate shakes at Crown Burger for 2 days straight now. I wonder if I could get the West Valley location to honor the GC...
