Wooohoooo!
#13 finished! French style!
In celebration of Bastille Day, the DCRRC sponsored a 4 mile race on the Custis Trail, leaving from Fletcher's Boathouse. It was a nice, laid back race, limited to 150 runners. Prizes (a bottle of wine) went to the top male and top female finisher.
It rained a lot yesterday, but around 4:30 it cleared and the sun came out, which meant one thing: HUMIDITY!
Post race, the temperature was only 80 degrees, however, Mark and I think there was matching humidity for it. I personally, LOVED it---it was ideal conditions for me---I love feeling the humidity if the sun isn't on me. The run was along the C&O Canal, but on the paved Custis Trail, a loop where we started near mile 8.0, ran to 7.5, turned around, ran to mile 9.0 and back to the start/finish.
The timing pads were set up right on the trail and had the added bonus of sharing the experience with local commuters on bikes and local runners who were on the trail at the same time.
We were happy with our time: we finished in 32 minutes (almost even). When final results are posted I will post them in this entry.
It was the perfect way to remember the storming of the Bastille! Vive le France!
