Base 5k today! David and I registered and waited around for the 9:30 race start for about an hour. As usual, there were hardly any runners. Over the past year, the races have been getting less and less people. So sad, the workers that run the races don't care and they don't really advertise. The weather had dropped from 90 to 60 in a day so it felt very cold to us! David and I warmed up a little and watched the little kids run an 800 meter race on the track. They gave the kids prizes and then had us line up for the race. The race course is always the same, so we knew where we were off to. I actually felt really good for most of the race. I was in second (behind my husband) for the majority of the race until a dude sprinted into the finish. :( David won and I was the first woman, but they awarded me as third place. This was the best 5k time I have had on any base 5k, so I was proud. |
