Had a fun run with MR. He hadn't trained much for it, so we went slow and easy. It was such a crowded run that it would have been harder to run much faster without playing pinball with the other runners on the course. There were almost twice as many runners on the course as the last time we ran it. The number of people on the running course was too darn high! I tried sprinting to the finish line the last mile, but the corral was blocked in and packed with runners. Almost impossible to pass people. It was this way almost the whole time. A few places the road got to be 3 or 4 lanes wide and there was a chance to move a little through the crowds. It was nice to revisit the course, but I won't sign up for it again. I realized I didn't even get a chance to enjoy the views around the nation's capitol because I was so worried about running into other people. Reaffirms my decision to look for smaller races. |
