So full disclosure, I’m a sucker for animal rescue races, and at this one they let me take one of the dogs with me on the race. It was hot, I had body armor on, so I was super hot, but I didn’t care because I had a very energetic dog with me.
Now warts and all, this race starts late, and I do wish it was earlier so we could beat some of the heat, so I have to deduct a shoe for that. The set-up on the course was great with mile markers clearly visible and COLD water out there frequently. Plus, there were dogs at each water station who were up for adoption. CAN you PR here? Yeah you probably can. I was so far off my PR or even my normal splits you’d think I was injured on the course, but my good boy had lots of smells to investigate and I wasn’t about to say no.
Down to the lake, around it, back to the (high school I think it was?) starting point. Nice raffles and great energy despite an oppressive muggy heat this year that really took a lot of people by surprise. I’ll be signing up for 2024 as soon as the links are updated. Hope to see you there.
