FINALLY…a live race again! We ran in the hot weather at deKoevend Park and enjoyed a sweaty but LIVE and safe 5k. No awards or potluck this time – sigh – but it was nice to see our running friends again!
Our COVID approach made for an interesting start. We used 12 start groups, spread out between 0 and 11 minutes, with 1 to 10 people and a mix of speeds in each group. That meant quick distancing on the course and a nicely spread out finish. Everyone wore masks when not racing, got their own bibs, and even put their finish tags on the spike themselves. And it all worked out great!!
52 racers completed the race. David Lange was the TS winner, and Mike Blanchard was the top racewalker. Deb Cunningham was the fast female in 23:37. Eric Green was the fast male in 18:37.
Plan on another live race on September 13 with 10mi and 5km choices. Hopefully September will be a bit cooler, too!
