5K Run - Men | |
| There were several Pacers at this event including Susan Davidson and Raul Anzola. Raul was taking photos (his track wounds are slowly healing). The Blueberry Jubilee 5K started (almost) on time. After a first failed shot with the starting gun the race got going and I quickly discovered that the course description of "slightly hilly" actually meant "lots of small hills." The heat and humidity slowed everyone down but there was a volunteer (or maybe just an enthusiastic spectator) with a SuperSoaker and a nice couple cooling people off with a garden hose. There were no mile markers which I found challenging. There were plenty of water stations but one table had a cooler and no cups! I finished in 25:02, slower than usual but a time I was happy with, given the weather and the hills. Warm Powerade and water were offered at the finish as well as oranges, bananas, and blueberries. Race results were slow in coming but we had ample entertainment while we were waiting and had a picture taken with Miss Blueberry and saw the Piney Woods Cloggers perform at the main stage. The presentation of awards was a little disorganized. Several Pacers placed in their age groups. This is not an inclusive list: Laura Anderson 1st in age group Adrienne McPhaul 2nd in age group Tisha Zelner 3rd in age group The Blueberry Jubilee really made this a fun time. There were lots of crafts to look at and plenty of blueberry products to choose from.
