Rained all day Saturday. More rain was pronosticated for Sunday too. We prayed and begged Tlaloc for no rain. Surprisingly, the rain stopped a few minutes before the race started. We could not believed Tlaloc heard our prayers. However, organizers cancelled the 10K and half marathon races. We had no choice but to run the 5K. I could not believe they were cancelling the half-marathon. I always thought runners are tough athletes and they never quit.
Stayed on the side line with Dan. Then, we heard the big sound for the race to start at 9:00 AM. There were some walkers in front of us, but we passed them very fast. Recognized a few runners, but they were just running for kicks and pacing some friends of them. Ran a few meters with them and then decided to follow faster runners. The first mile seemed long. The second one was even longer, and by the third mile I was thankful I was only running 5K! Finished in 21:38 according to my Garmin. No one drop of rain during the 5K.
