5K River Relay


Hardware! 

Katie and I drove up to Georgetown and participated in the Georgetown Running Club's 5K River Relay.  It was only a 1.55 mile run for each of us.  It was 100 degrees when the gun went off and the run was on a crushed gravel surface, so our times weren't blazing.  However, it was good enough for 2nd Place in the "mixed" category.  Katie ran the first leg and had us securely in 2nd  place in our division.  About a 1/4 mile in, I passed the first place team to put us in the lead, but about halfway through my leg another runner blew by me.   I tried to keep him within reach to try to close strong, but I just didn't have it.

We're still both pretty happy with making our way onto the podium in our first races in Austin.
