| What a great day for a race!!
The rain held off and the conditions were more to my liking, hot and humid!! It could have been a little hotter, but we'll get there!! The race was an out and back on the Trace. The distance was a little longer than 3 miles, yet shorter than a 5K. There were almost as many volunteers as runners who encouraged us all along the way. The pacers were well represented even though there were various other races in the area. Sheryl Chatfield domninated all the women, and most of the men!! I don't recall her exact time, but lets just say "fast" and getting faster all the time. The Ryders rule!! Robin Ryder was the fastest man and Kim Ryder was the 2nd woman overall. Ginny won her age group, Ashley won her age group, Charles (my Charles), won 2nd in his age group and I won Masters. Kily made a guest appearance using this race to add to his training. I think Andy ran 8 before racing. (I think he is starting to take this "running" thing seriously). Yousri was sighted but he wasn't taking this race too seriously as he was spotted laughing and taking pictures while running a blistering pace, unknown to most of us mortal runners!! I am actually very pleased with my time and how I felt. I was over a minute and 10 seconds faster than my last race. (Even though this was short). My breathing was much better (it is amazing how much better you can run when you aren't sucking up pollens that make you wheeze)!! The weather was lovely!! Charles still beat me, but I was closer and my real competition is myself. All in all, it was all good today!! I look forward to the reports from all the other area races!! Take care, run on, and on, and on!! © Audrey
