Fleet Feet Van with everyone's belongings
Our bikes parked during the run
Because my legs were sore from soccer last night at Keva, I decided to only run the 2 mile this year. It was a good choice. Friends that did the 10 mile said it was the windest they could remember. This run costs only $5.00 and leaves for the elementary school. There is really only one turn on the whole course aside from the turnaround.
Getting ready to race
The two mile was fun. I went out hard with the tailwind and not knowing which runners were running only 2 with me. It was definately a postive split. After the turn at the one mile, I ran straight into the wind with no one to draft. I looked behind me and saw a big gap which made it hard to run the second mile as fast as the first. I ended up first overall-which if you know anything about this race is not real impressive. All the fast runners do the 10 miler.
It was fun as usual. Ride out was windy but we pace lined most of it. Ride back was a breeze and the cake at cupcakes waiting for us at Fleet Feet helped keep the pace brisk. Great day.
