….because that’s how this race felt afterwards. Great energy from everyone. Nice loop with an out-and-back added for the 8k. That stretch was a little boring as it ran parallel to the road and the only thing there was a retaining wall blocking the wind and a lot of heat on the other side not being blocked. No trees on this course so it could be rough in a hot year, but the medal and tshirt (cotton) were excellent and unique and snacks a plenty (prepackaged and from local vendors) were available at the end. This race was a lot of fun. The scenery I was torn between 3 and 4 shoes. It’s around a small lake/large pond with a wetlands vibe to it. It’s pretty, but there’s not a tree out there, so it can get repetitive. Some of the path is paved and some is loose small gravel, so I did lose some time on the gravel, but it’s a fast course overall. If I could PR there (which I did) then you can, too. This will be a do-again race for me (and it benefits a great cause.)
