My 74th race of 2017 was the Day of the Dead 5K. Held on Oct 28 at 5 PM at a local San Antonio Park. There was also a 10K. We had a cool front come in, so it was relatively cool, nice. Even so, the 10K route was right into the sun and they had a few hills. We 5K folks had a pretty flat course and shade along the way. I ended up with 33 minutes and change and got 2nd in my age group. I think we were the only two in our age group, lol, because the age group was 60 – 99.

After the event, there was a costume contest, some door prizes, and also lots of goodies like Kiolbassa Sausage and Alamo Beer – my favorite locally brewed beer. Mucho thanks to all the volunteers, sponsors, timers, etc. all the folks that made this one happen for us.

My 73rd race of 2017 was Brew-Ha 5K, held Oct 28 at Specht’s Store in San Antonio.  Event benefitted Children’s Bereavement Center.  Small event, maybe 100 or a bit more.  There was both a 5K and a 10K.  Course was out-and-back from the store area.  Pretty darn chilly for we South Texans too, around 39 degrees at start time.  Thankfully Spechts opened a couple of their outbuildings and there were portable heaters in there so we could all huddle together and stay warm until the start.  8:30 a.m. start time.  I got there with about an hour to go, got some pre-start photos; then, as usual, did my run/walk thing and took on-course photos, and then some afterwards.  I did okay, finishished 33 minutes-and-change, and got 1st in my age group. I was the only one in my age group, lol.  So shouldn’t I have gotten 3 medals?  Nice event, with post-race breakfast tacos, sausage biscuits, and 3 kinds of beer on tap…my kinda race!    Photos are at the link below.  You may have to cut-and-paste it into your browser.
