Pre-race routine:

got up with the family early Thanksgiving morning and made the hour drive to Clearwater. Took in a water and a Cliff Bar. Once we arrived had to stand in line for the Port o Lets and figure out our race strategy since Ben and I did the 5k, I was running the 1 mile Gobbler with Beka and Wendi did the 10k.
Event warmup:

Stretch and light run....

Comments:

good run for me ...getting to the start line took almost 10 minutes...they need to figure out a way to get the runners in the front and the walkers in the back...it was a lot of work the first mile but it was fun and just trying to have a good time.....

Performance: Good
Course: Was surprised about the hils...I know this is Florida but when there is an incline it is a hill....They were not bad....went through a neighborhood they had bands playing and people sitting in their front yards cheering....then the final half mile there was a Jazz Band playing the Gator Fight Song and that produced a good kick......just for all us loyal, rabid.bleed orange and blue Gator Fans....
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
