This is a great little race borne of tragedy. The lady it honors would surely have been happy to see so many people coming out and having fun in her name. Nice flat 5k by Line Creek, the natural chute at the beginning is a little tight for that many people, but thanks to a wide track and natural spacing that takes care of itself real fast. Not that this is a go-out-and-give-it-your-all kind of race. Everybody was hanging out, talking to everyone, being friendly before the race started. There were some tents there with free samples of recovery/pre-/post-workout drinks, and even though it was one of the few races where I knew nobody there, everybody was very welcoming. I felt like I’d stumbled into a very large family reunion and they were just like “well since you’re here, join us for our race!” Uhm…absolutely!
This was the first of three in a busy race weekend for me, so I can’t say I gave it my strongest performance, as I wasn’t familiar with the course and I didn’t want to mess up my chances on the other races, but I was sorry I had to leave when the time came. I’m glad this race appears to be successful, because I very much want to do it again.
