Race Review - Halloween Fall Classic 5k

This race was the second one of the day.  I was tired.  But we went ahead and did it.  The race was very small.  Not even sure how many people were there but I doubt it was more than 50.

While I like small town races, this one was rather complicated.  The route was nice.  It went through a park area that was all pavement.  It had a couple of hills and I even had to hop over a snake that was crossing the path (that was a first!).

Once I crossed the line, I waited for Matt and other other 2 that were with us.  Then we waited.....and waited.  Finally the director had to figure out the times because his timing mechanism wasn't working properly.  Then he FINALLY announced winners and kept messing up and TAKING BACK awards that were handed out.  What the.....?

I got second place and Matt got third - that is great an all.  What did we get?  A store bought glass with a computer made sticker on the front. That was a first.  I can understand small town races and lack of funds but seriously?  

Guess there was a back story to this director and another director and some "bad blood".  And it showed.

Would I recommend?  Not at all.  However, I did like the tee shirts had our names on them.
