Life got in the way and I didn't get around to posting here, so I decided to pop in and give a quick overall report of all my races in 2019. I completed a total of six throughout the year, and I did all of them barefoot
First up was Three Creeks 10K in March, a sunny winter morning (in the low 20s°F with the wind chill). I run in the cold regularly, but I think this was my first winter race. It was an out-and-back course on a multi-use trail, and I recall a lady calling out to me on my return "You are THIRD! Great job, keep going!" I thought surely she was mistaken. She was not
The plaque I was sent for overall placement
Especially refreshing on a very warm afternoon after racing!
Final stretch towards the finish
My next event was the Spartan Race Beast in June, an obstacle course race
The Fire Jump at the finish...

I made my mark on the Spartan signature wall

Lots of race participants!
