Garden Gnome 5k Race Report (#5 of 14)

Race #5 of our 14 in 2014 Race Series. Time: 45:27

This was another awful Corvallis race. I think it had 200 feet in elevation changes,  which didn't bother me too much (I thought), but both times I've done this area (similar, overlapping courses) I've had terrible calf pain. I ran my best mile ever (12:26!!) and then walked/limped the second, cursing everyone that passed me. I did not PR but I guess it wasn't terrible considering I walked so much of it. I was also incredibly proud I ran the first 5 minutes straight, no stopping. That's a big deal!

A car tried to run me over as I got to the finish, and I screamed at him but, we all survived. :)

My friend Sarah PR'd and went sub 30 AND was top 5 in her age group! So amazing! We got free tomato plants as our prize. :)
