The age group awards and can only dream of someday being fast enough to earn.
Flame trophy the top 3 male and female runners would earn for their efforts, something I can only drool over.
Banner for the race, made for a great photo opportunity for many runners this morning!
Pile of bling we would all soon be earning. I loved the bike chain design around the edge and the weight surprised me compared to our other local half's.
The super cool water bottles we would get at the finish. They were said of have ice cold water waiting for us, but I figured if they were already starting to fill them before we even started they wouldn't be very cold (only real complaint about the event).
As I get ready to head up the 1st hill. Can already feel the heat in my cheeks. Got a great tan though thanks to my self made Snoopy sleeve gathers.
View of the 1st climb into the sun!
At the top of the first hill with the Exeter valley behind me. Still have some green trees on this side of the mountain. Can see my Gizmo chili pepper hat in this one too. Had matching socks and my "Valley of Fire" race shirt. Figured with a race called "Hell" I should theme it up as much as I could.
Trying out the new Gatorade chewy's. Wasn't a real fan of the texture but it seemed to work well enough. Cheeks are even more red. This is the bottom of the 1st hill and I think going in to mile 7.
Snoopy sporting my medal!
Not sure how I feel about this race. Overall I was able to cut 18 minutes from last year. Wasn't able to hold a 15 minute per mile pace like I had originally hoped for, but I am thinking, this may be a reason to return next year!
