Training

  • Plan: No plan - this is just a fun community race.
  • Shoes: Brooks Ghost 15s.
  • Watch: Garmin Vivo Activ 4.
  • Apparel: Nike Flex 7" shorts, OC running hat, and Oakley Holbrooks.
  • Supplements: No supplements.

This was a fun race, so I didn't formally train for it.

Pre-race

  • Accommodations: Home.
  • Race Package: Pickup was swift and there was good swag too. I also volunteered for the race setup and the volunteer package was great too!
  • Dinner: Cannot recall.
  • Sleep: Meh - I was at a comedy show late and I had a couple of beers so sleep wasn't great.
  • Breakfast: Eggs, oatmeal, and a banana.
  • Travel to the Start Line: 5 minutes bike ride.
  • Strategy: Go hard.

This race is just down the road from my house, so it was great to sleep in a bit and not be rushing out the door.

It was fun to see and meet some Strava friends.

All the distances started at the same time. I started a little too far back and found myself stuck in traffic for the first kilometer. Once traffic cleared up, I gave'r.

Not much to share about this one. I just enjoy the community runs and seeing familiar faces. I also love that my daughter gets to participate too.
