My first River Bank Run (aka Riggle Bank Run)

Published by at 9:04 pm under Uncategorized

I ran my first race! I came in 1,723rd out of 3,061 women (3,462 out of 5,274 overall) with a time of 34:41 which for me is right on target for my usual speed. It was fun and I felt great.

I got there REALLY early. It's about 6:30 a.m. here. My biggest fear was that I'd be late and miss it.

Starting line self-portrait. There were over 5,000 5K runners so it seemed to take ages just to get to the finish line. Lots of standing around in 45 degrees.

Home stretch! That's me in the white hat.

Finished!

Posing with the kids at the Calder Plaza, where the post-race party was. They were such good sports to get up early and cheer me on in the cold!

And it was our anniversary! Seventeen years of wedded bliss
