To no fault of the run organizers it was pouring down rain but...a little rain has never stopped us. Even though Jim is recovering from being sick the 3 of us ran the race in 34.17. It definitely NOT our best time but like I mentioned...it was raining and Jim was getting over being sick. It was also the first race that we have pushed Abby. There were also over 5,ooo people running this race so the course never really cleared out. I know, I know...excuses excuses. Our time definitely motivated us to run some more races to get our time back to what we are used to.
The real problem that we had this run is that the parking was not organized very well. It took us 2x as long to get out of the parking lot than it did to run the race. The race took place at a local outdoor mall and the race participants parked in the mall parking lots. There was NO parking attendants helping control the 5,000+ cars. IT WAS A MESS!!
Even thought the parking was a huge issue we are looking forward to future races. Our next race is March 13th the Come Catch a Leprechaun 5k.
