This was by far not my fastest 5k but it certainly was special - the first actual 5k road race that I got to run with #SuperD, made even more special by the fact that it's his 10th birthday!!
He and I have done a few organized group fun runs before, and he's done one or two of the 2-mile races with me from the Brew Series, and he and I did the Tacky Sweater 5k on the trails in December.
We got out to ZF in Fountain Inn pretty early on Saturday, and it was fairy nice weather (not too hot, overcast). We got our photo with the team and before long we were off!
The course is a small lollipop with a loop at the midway point and a fairly long out-and-back.
First mile was a lot of walking and I was worried that we'd be walking almost the whole race. Once we got to about the halfway point, there's a little off-road portion and he seemed more interested/excited about this. Then on the return straightaway he must have gotten his energy because he was flying and didn't stop at all!
Mile 1 - 12:07
Mile 2 - 11:15
Mile 3 - 9:07 (one-mile PR for Super D!)
He was so proud of himself and excited at the end of the race. Can't say he's pumped for another one but at least he got through this one with a smile. 😁
