Seriously, this one was all about the weather. The course is not in town, and on race day it was COLD and very windy, so it was miserable. The first part of the course was hilly and it would probably have been pretty if we weren’t in the middle of a drought, so it was all brown. The second part of the course along a busy road was pretty boring, but the volunteers were super friendly and cheered everybody on. Tons of food afterwards and massages, but the finish line was disappointing since it was so cold everyone was inside. It’s a small race and I was not in a group of runners at the end, so as I came in two people popped out to display my time and direct me inside to pick up my medal. I totally understand with the weather and all the stuff inside was great, but still a bit of a downer. I’m sure when the weather cooperates it’s a fun little race, but that’s spring in the plains! I would like to run it again sometime!

This is a tough little race. For one, it is very hilly for this area. Then you have to deal with the wind, but that is very normal for the springtime in the Texas Panhandle. Race starts out pretty fast until you turn around to go uphill for about a mile and a half.
