North Face Endurance Challenge 5k - Washington, DC Recap -
It was HOT
And really sunny
I ran in my North Face gear and it worked out well, although I wish the shirt was about 3 to 4 inches longer and that I had running tights rather than the shorts. BUT - it was lightweight and helped to keep me cool.
The course was nice, pretty flat and about a third of it was in the woods on a narrow trail
There was NO WATER STATION, which I found to be pretty dangerous given the temperature. So I carried my own water bottle and I am glad that I did.
Race results for me never were tracked and I definitely crossed the start and finish line, which is aggravating
My friend (and coworker) who runs Endurance Racing Magazine kicked the race's ass - 26:15 and was top 3 in her age group
I need to work on my fitness because my time was way off my PR
I am a complete ham and all of the race photos of me I am giving a thumbs up
Finish time - 39:21
