Race Recap By Scott Orlando:
It was a hot and humid morning at the Raintree 5K in Green, Ohio with Team ER and North Water Brewing Run Club.
My goal for today’s race was simple, bring home an age group award apple pie. The course for this race includes golf course fairways, cart paths, and a section of road running. The course is scenic and a little slow with plenty of low incline rolling hills. A true cross country style running experience.
I went out a little slow trying to save my legs for the hills in the last mile. After the first mile I realized that I was most likely in the lead of my division. My strategy shifted from running fast to running fast enough to win my division. The race field spread out and no one was pushing my pace from the front or back so I settled into a comfortable pace. The strategy seemed to work and I won my division and an apple pie finishing 21st overall with a time of 23:32. I definitely don’t like finishing a 5K over 23:00 minutes but in the heat and humidity on a tough course I will take it.
All runners received full cotton T-shirts that featured a logo I designed. I liked the design of course but would prefer to see it on a white tech shirt or at least a tri blend shirt. There were snacks after the race and a few raffle prizes. I happened to win one which was a golf pass at Raintree.
It was really fun running with all of my Team ER and North Water Brewing Run Club friends who all received pies as well.
Thank you to Mickey Rzymek, Josh Ritchie, Summit Athletic Running Club, and all of the volunteers who helped put on a great event!
