Stats….
Canon time: 36:27
Chip time: 35:47 (that’s when I physically crossed the start and finish line)
Placement Stats…
Category: 5th out of 93 runners
Female 6k runners: 101st out of 975 runners
All 6 k runners: 283rd out of 1488 runners
Pace: 9:46 per mile (By comparison I usually do 10 minutes per mile on the treadmill)
Highlights include running in the dark at the river bottom (sorta creepy), running in a gentle snowfall with HUGE flakes that I choked on a couple times, a bag piper standing on the corner of Scenic and 3rd Avenue blasting out tunes as we ran down and up a huge hill and the pounding of a drumming circle situated at the river bottom.
Edited to add: Just for fun, my playlist for the run!
And doing a lot better than I thought I would!!!! It was totally fun!
Congratulations!
Thanks sweetie!!!
