On November 21st I met up with Suzy to run a very fun race! The race was called the Turkey Raffle run. Basically you run for 1 hour around a 1 mile loop. Every time you complete the mile you are handed a raffle ticket. At the end you put your tickets into a drawing for a bunch of fun prizes (mostly food and frozen turkeys).
It was a cold morning and I was surprised by the number of people that showed up for the race. This was the first year I heard of it! I love running with Suzy – we always have stuff to chat about. At one point I asked her if we could slow down and she said she was trying to keep up with me and I said I’ve been trying to keep up with you! HA.
We ended up running 5.3 miles in 53 minutes:
mile 1: 10:11/mi
mile 2: 9:45/mi
mile 3: 9:46/mi
mile 4: 10:45/mi
mile 5: 10:12/mi
mile .3: 3:14
I bet you are wondering what I won? Yup, that my friends is a box of donuts. Exactly what I need :)
that sounds like such a fun race theme! I'm going to pass that along to some race directors I know.
ReplyDeletelooks like a fun race! I've always wanted to try one in that format.
