Saturday, June 2 – In all three previous road trips, we had
never done a race on the road, so we were on the lookout for one this
time. We got lucky, and found the Green
and Lean 5K on the Charleston peninsula to benefit the mission to Keep
Charleston Beautiful. It took place in
Brittlebank Park and around The Citadel on the Ashley River. It was also sunny in the mid-70s with high
humidity, so any runner knows that = hot…
It was a really nice, well-run race, that also gave prizes
for first dog and first stroller to cross the finish line, so that gives you a
good feel for things. They announced
that this year’s race had the most people that they’d ever had register, with
241 finishers. And, in a first for my
running career, I placed first in my age group!
That’s a feat I never come close as one of thousands in NYC races. In addition to the visual proof with the
photo of me accepting my medal, to back up this claim you can see the results
HERE. A nice start to a weekend in
Charleston!
Way to go! Which age group was that?
