Could have titled this “Punches above its weight class”…but it’s hockey not boxing and I can’t make a pun on that.
Nice route through the greenspace at one of the alternate St. Jo locations (by the ice rink). Medal was above average for essentially what I thought would be a PTA race, the shirt was comfortable (though I’ve pulled a lot of loose threads so let’s see if it unravels…). At the finish you get a sticker with the time and pace to put on your bib. Only downside in production really was that it was shoe tags you return at the end instead of backside of bib. Ugh are we still using those in 2024?
Most of this course is flat-ish with a small hill up front and a larger one towards the last bit before the turn around, but for anyone who has seen the hills out here, it was actually quite mild. No shade on the second half of this out and back, but the weather cooperated nicely. I’d do this course again if I didn’t have another race that day.
