Hilly 100 Bike Ride

Brooksville, Florida

Ride Review By Ken Frankenbery:

This was my second year doing the 100. A tough day to dress for with 40’s & heavy fog to start at 730 am  but upper 70’s & sunny by noon. Knowing what was coming helped ( 4700 feet of climbing), and having my good friend Juan join me really was a plus. But not doing any group rides made it tough to stay with the pack as I just didn’t feel comfortable with so many riders so close. A rider in front of me had a flat on a fast downhill and that was enough for me so I dropped back & let group go. I picked up a few smaller groups to work with & still had to dig deep into the suitcase of courage after mile 80. A great ride with great company & so lucky to be able to train in Florida!

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.
