Got up, loaded car, and headed down to the arboretum. Parked in a shopping center and walked over to the start. Turned out to be the right move considering the traffic leaving Winfrey Point after the race.

Event warmup:

None

Comments:

Decided to run this because Robin was doing it as part of her long run, so my goal was to run with her and see how my knee felt. We started out slow in a big group of people and it really didn't thin out until mile 2 or so. From there, we just ran at a comfortable pace and enjoyed the run. The knee felt good so we picked up the pace for the second half. I finished and got a bag of ice. Robin went on and finished her run.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing. This event is great. Good shirts, hats, after race party.

Warm down:

Hung out, watched the band, iced the knee and waited for Robin to finish her run.
