Run was a part of the AZ Police and Fire Games Track and Field event. An insuranse snafu caused a last minute venue change from Scottsdale Community College to the Phoenix Police Academy.

The track was a track in the sense that it was oval shaped, laned and a quarter mile in distance. It had a parking lot in the middle, asphalt crossing sections, and during certain events we took turns directing traffic. That said, we all made the best of it and everyone did some running events they might not have done otherwise.

I arrived to find out I was the only one to enter the '5k', which was "changed" to the three mile.

I ran my 12 laps at a comfortable pace, my legs still a little heavy from the Ragnar del Sol the previous week.

Ran the 50 yd dash, the 100 yard dash, 220, 440, and 880... distances that I hadn't run since Jr. High. Did a cycling time trial the next day.

Brought home lots of hardware and some very sore hamstrings (I'm not a sprinter)


Not the most organized event, but a lot of things were out of the directors control, and he did what he could to make up for it.
