What a day! It started out raining with lightning. The weather was a bad sign for the race and several people wondered if we would be able to do it. Although I was off island until right before the race, Christy Tisch let me know what was going on and the concern about the event. I had her get the word out that unless it was still lightning, the race would still happen. It is easier to be cut and dry. For instance, it is tough trying to explain what level of "bad" would be acceptable without creating some doubt. I didn't want anyone staying home because they thought that it was too rainy. Plus, if it was only me and a few other crazies then I was fine with that.
As it happened, the rain stopped and the lightning finished up so we were able to race. 13 people came out to tackle the wet trails. Although there wasn't a lot of mud, we did have to wade through a small lake in a low part along the trail. This race was out-n-back along the Haunted Forest - Marine Beach Trail which was around 3.4 miles. Joe James won the drawing and received a pair of running socks. Thanks again to my timing buddy - Lisa. I keep hoping I have to find another timer - that would mean that she is healed up and able to participate!
Here are the results:
Carolyn Forbes 30:22
CDR Lopez 31:45
Juan Puente 38:53
Tausha Beins 39:18
