Race Review - Double Header
Some days we just feel like running two events.
This time, our buddy, Missy went with us. Our first race was an Easter Egg run. Again, it was cold. This cold crap was getting old.
As cold as it was, they had snow cones....really? Brrrrrrr, no thank you.
This was a typical 5k. The person giving instruction had no amplifier therefore it was hard to hear him. It was a count down start and we were off. It went though a fairly busy area. There was sidewalk for most of it but we had to run on the road and through a business area for a portion.
The route went through a nice subdivision and then back towards the start, making a large circle.
At the finish, there was a cute medal and bananas. I was the first of our small group to cross the line. So I sat and waited for the rest of our group.
Once our group gathered, we headed to our second race.
Our second one was a virtual race that we decided to meet up at a park and run. Everyone brought food and drinks and we just visited for awhile and enjoyed the sun (even though it was still cold!
While I knew the group was waiting for the race director of the virtual race so she could walk it with us and take pics, I was growing impatient. Most of the people there didn't have quite as far a drive as we did and it was going on a couple hours. Was anxious to get it going.
Finally we were off. We all started together, then Matt, Missy and I broke off and jogged/walked the trails. They were nice but not as nice as Eagle Creek. We kept coming back out into the parking lot. It was a small trail for people to walk on, not really designed for running. But we enjoyed it and once we got back, we had to wait on the others and snapped a picture then headed out.
It was nice to do the virtual with the group but hated being on everyone else's time who wasn't in much of a hurry. haha!
So, the review of the event Easter Egg 5k (race 1):
Terrain - pavement, sidewalk
Organization - It was okay. Small town director
Cost - $20
Time of Race - 9:00am
Overall - It was a typical small town race, it was okay for the price
Swag - participation medal, short sleeved shirt
My Time 30.42
Race #10
So, the review of the event Bunny Stomp Virtual 5k:
Terrain - small trails
Organization - It was virtual that we met up with others to do
Cost - $20
Time of Race - 2pm
Overall - it was a nice trail but small and often times unpassable
Swag - a medal
My Time - we didn't time it, per say. We just enjoyed the run

Race Review - Shamrock Shuffle 5K
The things we do to race.
Matt worked the night before, got home at 7am and we headed out for a 2 hour drive. Yes, a 2 hour drive to run 3 miles.
We got there and it was freezing. Seriously, it's March. Where is the warmer weather?
Luckily there was a business (Scotty's Brewhouse) that sponsored the race and we could go in and stay warm.
It was a typical 5k. It went through a nice neighborhood and was an out and back route. Once we crossed the finish line, we were handed some bling (a nice, glittery medal that is a bottle opener), a glass and we were directed to go inside for a free beer (I opted for a soda).
Snacks after were pretzels and bananas. They had a bowl of Lucky Charms but watching everyone reach in with their hands to grab some, turned me off. No thanks.
Once Matt crossed the line, we headed out. We didn't stay and hang around with our group this day due to Matt having to go back to work that night! So, we drove the 2 hours back home.
Runners are a crazy breed!
So, the review of the event Shamrock Shuffle 5K:
Terrain - pavement
Organization - Mediocre, seemed like no one really knew what they were doing
Cost - $25
Time of Race - 10:00am
Overall - it was a okay, nothing really special about it
Swag - participation medal shaped that is also a bottle opener, tee shirt
My Time 30.41

Race Review - Winter Trail Frosty Quarter Marathon
I am behind in my posts. Life has been crazy busy.
Winter Trail Frosty - WTF. Clever.
This event was a trail run. Even though it was freezing, I am glad that I wore my trail shoes! There were several muddy spots. It was a nice run, though. A quarter marathon is just a bit over 6 miles. I enjoy trail runs. It is so peaceful and gives something to look at rather than houses and cars.
The sun began to shine and the day began to warm up - a little. It was still cold.
The medal was a monster - and a snowglobe! Kudos for originality.
So, the review of the event WTF Quarter Marathon:
Terrain - trails, muddy and frozen ground
Organization - Organized nicely, great snacks after the run, 131 Productions always delivers
Cost - unsure
Time of Race - 10:00am
Overall - it was a nice trail at Eagle Creek Park
Swag - participation medal shaped like a snow globe, long sleeved shirt
My Time 1 hour, 24 minutes
