28 degrees and windy….nobody does hot gatorade here? Anyway…This is similar to the route I do as my training route or just need a quick virtual to round out the weekend sort of thing. There’s three different 10k at English Landing park — 2 laps, and out and back with full repeat of the course, and an out and back that’s modified for a shortcut of sorts, so about 4 miles out and 2 back, ending at the start (because it’s direct not circuitous). The latter is my favorite, the 2 lap one I hate, this was the other one. I’m still making up my mind on that one. Bodies’ crew made sure to keep the energy up. I only did the 10k because I’d raced so much that week already, but right up until the starting horn blew part of me was wishing I’d done the half, because they really made it seem like that was where the party was at and I think the turnaround at the half up on the levee makes for some beautiful scenery. My knee and the cold kept me from it, but my buddy said it was a great race. The theme each year is something iconic from the 80s/90s. 2022 was Back to the DeLorean Time Machine, this year it was Triassic Park (or some completely public domain T-rex with red font…however they do it. The cotton Ts were really nice and had a nice 80s retro look to them (and are super soft) and the Trex roars on the award. Apparently, I got second in my age group, but I don’t think there were Age Group awards. All the same. Must have meant only two of us showed up 😉 Hoping to be there next year with a less angry knee, because I’d have really liked to be on the levee one more time before the year ended.
