Race Recap By Ken Frankenbery:
This was my first real race in 2020. Sign up on line, pick up number plate at local running store, you get assigned a starting time, show up, masks on at all times when not running, they sent runners off in small groups of 15-stagered by 6 feet. After no awards,( they mail them ) or lingering at finish, grab a banana and go- they text you results ( that works fine for me)
The loop was a trail around Hudson Lake –gravel & packed dirt-lots of hills.
I was in one of last waves- good thing was guy who started in front of me was just about my speed- so we worked our way thru traffic together. I was pushing hard to catch him , so that kept me motivated- bad thing was guy who started right behind me was in my age group and also motivated trying to catch me ( he did not ) but did beat me by 1 second!
Time was 22:07- 22nd overall out of 100. Is this they way racing will be in the future? Not sure- but for me, I race to push out of my comfort zone-mission accomplished!
