Valentine Lovers 5k-Photo included

Today was the Lovers 5k race.
There are a few divisions you can race in, Solo, Lovers, same sex and two other team (i think sibling and no idea for the last).

A friend and i decided to race together in the lovers category (shanks on here).
Since this was not really a PR day (27 degrees, windy, HILLY course, and the fact that we "hydrated" well before we got there, and we were racing as a couple (best ave time for each division wins), we decided to have some fun with this and dress up.

In typical fashion we decided it was time to bust out the jorts (if you dont know what they are google jorts and check the photos).

The course was a 2 loop snake like course that winds back on its self twice, and one person from each couple runs one way, while the other runs the other, so you get to see the other person 4 times during the race. The course was either up or down the whole way, and WINDY.

Race was pretty uneventful aside from a LOt of cheers and smiles for the costumes!!
Afterwards we found out we won the Lovers Division but were disqualified for being same sex (i guess that was only for opposite sex couples. I ended up with a very comfortable 18:40 and i think shanks ran 20:30. and here is what we wore for the race (note that i only saw about 10 other pairs of shorts, and no short sleeves.

We did however win the best costume award and a free pair of shoes for it! As shanks said after, "sex sells, people"
