I’ve done this race before but this is a new location. It’s a circular out and back that does well to let you mix up the rolling hills and still be able to cheer on the people going the other direction who look like they are hurting. On a day like today a lot of us were hurting. The course has a decent amount of small rolling hills. Certainly nothing hard for people out here but anyone used to pancake flat parts of the country may find themselves out of breath a bit more. Water point was at about 1.25 and 1.75M, as it was one that you hit on the way out and back. You’re doing a perimeter loop around the beautiful Aspiria campus. There’s some shade, and that helps, but it was oppressively hot, and we all felt it on that course. It was a great production, great energy, a nice sort cotton T and a truly beautiful medal. This race was a “do again” before, and it is even more so at the new location.
Great July race

This one was a lot of fun. It’s out at a shopping center that I’d never have visited otherwise, and there seemed to be quite a number of nice stops there. The pre and post race energy was nicely elevated and the scenery into the surrounding area was pretty on a course that runs fast despite the temperatures already rising by start time. Production was top notch. It’s always a welcome surprise when I see latrine trailers instead of just portajohns, and the finish line is after a gradual downhill where you really get to feel like you’re bringing it home. Lots of people dressed up in costume for this event and there were several WWII and ‘Nam and Korea vets there with their old patches on. It was a great energy and I didn’t want to leave, and it runs big like the races who double up 10k/5k or add a half or something. Well worth doing again.
