So I do English Landing Park a lot. It’s my go-to for virtuals from 5k to half marathon. There’s a section that nobody enjoys doing that I’ve ever spoken with, the first mile and a half or so over by the dog park. It’s slow, loose gravel and there’s really nothing to look at over there normally, this year it’s construction equipment. The route was different than any of the other ELP races I’ve ever done. Immediately across the foot bridge at the circle, counterclockwise around the dog park to the far corner, then retrace back to the start, 10k-ers do it twice. Ugh.
That said, the medal was pretty much half marathon size and weight, so that eased the pain, and it was an afternoon race which I love, because then I can do a double that day, but for a small field and a lousy route, They really did as best they could on scene.
