Pace: 6:41
Awards: 3rd Place Overall Female (a bowl)
This will be my last 5K until the mud run (will explain in a future post) and also my last race blog that I have to catch up on…yay!
Not a whole lot to say about this race other than it was HOT and it ran through a pretty little town called South Port, North Carolina. The race for me overall went really well despite the temperatures. I paced the two girls that were ahead of me the whole time and ended up in a very close (two second difference) 3rd place. The race took off along the Cape Fear River and the course continually curved through tree-lined streets. Overall, a very pretty run and the whole thing went smoothly.
The awards given were homemade local pieces of pottery..aka homemade bowls. My bowl was a greenish-gray and probably the best darn bowls I’ve ever earned. Ok, the only bowl I’ve ever had to work for, but that’s what makes it so special! After the race was over, Kevin bought me a sweet, cool reward – Rita’s Italian Ice! The perfect end to a great Saturday morning!
