Holy cow! This race was another comedic finish!
The race started at 9AM.
My dad called me at 8AM asking if I was going, but I told him I wanted to skip it, muscles were tired, and needed rest!
I then debated until 8:30ish, got outta bed, and started getting ready! I had to book it down to Webster Groves downtown if I was even gonna make it.
Left the house at 8:42ish, got there at 4 minutes till, bibbed up 1 minute till, then ran over to the start line! My first race where I hadn’t warmed up hardly at all.
It was fun running it with all my winter gear. I stripped it off just in time for the start! “You better hurry up!” exclaimed others
I sure DID hurry up! I took first with a 18:5x time. Easy win!!
There was free ice cream from DQ at the corner, one of my childhood fav locations after Sunday church. They had a sweet, sleek silver ice cream push cart.
I won a family value meal at Psghetti’s ($22 value!) and several free ice cream coupons. Yummm!!! And another medal
Tonight is the last performance of Rocky Horror at Tivoli. I’m so excited! And I ain’t gonna hide it!!
