Sweat Your Thorns Off Race ReportSssss

Today Adam hosted the Sweat Your Thorns Off Virtual 5k.  My plan was to race this as part of my 8km training run this morning.  The race did not start off well – the alarm didn’t go off.  I sprang out of bed @ 5:30 and was out the door by 5:40.

I also didn’t get my bib in time so here is the post race Canadian version – I don’t think I say “EH” a lot but others may disagree:

Race #1: 32:40.

Knowing that I would never win this race with my un-fast time, I decided to create my own category:  “The fastest 5km after running 8km in the morning and carrying golf clubs as part of an 18 hole round”. 

Race outfit #2 – taken at the golf course..this isn’t my hideous wallpaper….

I attached my Garmin to my bag (activating Auto Pause) and off we went:

Thanks for hosting Adam….and it was actually a bit chilly in this part of Canada on race day…but no snow.  :)

Nice one Laura! You play a lot of golf lately. Is it just as important as your running? I saw a Grey Duiker (small antelope) on my trail run Sunday but only dogs during my virtual 5k. Have a great week!
