It was a gorgeous, if chilly, day to run a race in Leavenworth, Kansas and the course was quite demanding on my penguin-esque body but I made it all the way to the finish. Afterwards, the primary sponsor of the race, The High Noon Saloon, rewarded all the participants with a free beverage and a nice pint glass with the brewery's logo on the side.
Since today's race is replacing the 8 mile workout scheduled for tomorrow I made sure to run the warm up and cool down long enough to total the required distance once added to the race's 7.2 miles.
