Moore Park Turkey Trot 5K 2012


Here is my finishing photo from today's race (11/22/12). It was a "guess your finishing time" race with some nice hills and about a 27 degree starting temp (that's why I'm wearing the sweatshirt...not usually my style). I guessed 29:15 with the hills, etc. and finished #53 overall at 29:03. The gentleman behind me in black was trying to pass me about a 100 yards earlier, so I decided to push the finish. That probably cost me being really close to my guess. Oh well, it was for fun. Just a good training run to test the legs before next week's marathon run. Felt really good and strong.
