English Landing Park. Seemed a little short. Turnaround point seemed closer than usual, ended up with 13 exactly. T-shirt and western-themed medal this year. Spurs on the medal actually rotate and it’s a very big one.
For those unfamiliar with this course, it’s at a park by the river, and leads down through the woods and up onto the levee. It was 23 degrees and super windy the whole race, so it was a real test of your gear. The water at the water stations was frozen in the little cups. Why nobody does hot water I don’t understand. I had hot gatorade on a course once and it was amazing for the well below zero Fahrenheit temps that were going on. I wish that caught on more. The course is mainly pea gravel but there is a concrete section. Not even a mile. The real challenge is the first two miles by the dog park out in the open with nothing to block the wind. I never do well here. It’s my home course where I do all my virtuals and I just can’t get into it performance wise, but it is pretty by the river and down into the woods. Lots of critters in other times of year will be there to scurry around you, but nature was smart enough to stay indoors today. Plenty of bars and chips and whatnot at the finish.
Great energy to end out the year

28 degrees and windy….nobody does hot gatorade here? Anyway…This is similar to the route I do as my training route or just need a quick virtual to round out the weekend sort of thing. There’s three different 10k at English Landing park — 2 laps, and out and back with full repeat of the course, and an out and back that’s modified for a shortcut of sorts, so about 4 miles out and 2 back, ending at the start (because it’s direct not circuitous). The latter is my favorite, the 2 lap one I hate, this was the other one. I’m still making up my mind on that one. Bodies’ crew made sure to keep the energy up. I only did the 10k because I’d raced so much that week already, but right up until the starting horn blew part of me was wishing I’d done the half, because they really made it seem like that was where the party was at and I think the turnaround at the half up on the levee makes for some beautiful scenery. My knee and the cold kept me from it, but my buddy said it was a great race. The theme each year is something iconic from the 80s/90s. 2022 was Back to the DeLorean Time Machine, this year it was Triassic Park (or some completely public domain T-rex with red font…however they do it. The cotton Ts were really nice and had a nice 80s retro look to them (and are super soft) and the Trex roars on the award. Apparently, I got second in my age group, but I don’t think there were Age Group awards. All the same. Must have meant only two of us showed up 😉 Hoping to be there next year with a less angry knee, because I’d have really liked to be on the levee one more time before the year ended.
