5th 3rd River Bank Run

Amanda and I ran the 5k 5th 3rd River Bank run. Race started at 7:30 am sharp and we lined up in the 10:00 min mile mark. We were lucky it didn't rain on us until after we finished. Poor 25 k'ers got the rain! I am waiting for my race results, I don't think I beat my time, but we'll see.

This was a large race and the best turnout they have had. Over 16,000 people raced, about 38,000 watched (I counted them as I ran, I was bored), and 2,000 volunteers. According to WOOD TV, this is the largest 25 k races in the nation, but I think I will stick to 5k and 10ks.

Here are some photos taken by Keith with the zoom lens. Glad i gave him the zoom, because he was sitting in bleachers at the finish line along with Jason. I am in the pink shirt and black pants with the pink stripe, and Amanda is on my left behind me in the 3/4 length gray pants. CLICK ON PICTURES FOR LARGER IMAGE.
