It was cold, but not nearly as cold as the previous day! We got there and it was in a park area. Parking was fairly easy. We got our packets and went back to the vehicle to sit in the warm for a little bit.
Once it was race time, we headed to the start line. They explained the entire course, which was very confusing. Thankfully they had the course marked and volunteers along the way.
It was a canon start, which scared the crud out of me. And we were off. My legs were protesting. I would rather run two races in the same day than run one on one day and one on the following. I was slow and sluggish.
There were some hills that I just had to stop and walk up then start running again. My legs felt like jell-o for some reason. It was probably due to, not only running the day before, but the cold as well. The race was through a park so it was a nice run.
At the end, women got a rose and men got a carnation; everyone got a medal and Gigi's cupcakes! Yup! They were delicious and I ate mine in record time!
I headed back to the vehicle to start it and take my stuff there and by the time I got back, Matt was already crossing the finish line! Way to go, Matt! He was only about 5 minutes behind me! Great job!
