Charger Challenge 5k Fun Run
Place 1st
Time:???? 16:03?????
So this was my first race back from my deathly sinus infection. SIDEBAR--Thanks to apostle Russel M Nelson giving me an Apostolic blessing of health to get me back into running form. No antibiotic needed just the power of GOD---Thanks to the Lord.
Well now that I have my renewed powers of running I figured--hey lets do a road race without running for 2 weeks.
I felt awesome the first 2 miles but the last half I hit a mega a wall. I think some one yelling splits had my two mile a 9:48 and I was feeling great but I basically turned into fat oprah whenI rounded the final turn. I wouldn't be surpised if I lost 30 seconds on the last half. Goes to show a base of running is crucial. The sickness stole my base but left me some speed.
Well enough about myself. The charger challenge was well put together, they had a mess up with registration at the start but they should be able to refine those things for next year. They did an ok job with prizes. I talked with the race director afterwards and they hope to branch outward and get some good raffle prizes.
Definately one to do next year. the course if flat and fast.
