Race Review By Scott Orlando

This was my third year competing in the Mansfield Lexington Turkey Trot.  The race offers a 5K, course, 10k course, and half marathon course.  I again chose the 10K.   Weather conditions were less then ideal with strong winds and heavy rains.  The field was a little smaller then last year most likely do to the rain and a lot of registered runners electing to sleep in and skip the soggy run.   The course for all three distances is a fast and flat out and back on the paved bike trail.    I had a solid run mostly sticking to my pace goals.  I finished a little slower then last year but still very happy with my ability to push the pace the last few miles and finish 4th overall and 1st in my division.  All runners receive performance hoodies, mini pies, and finisher medals.   The race again was very well organized.
