Fifth Seasons Health Solutions 8K

Race started at 8:00 AM this morning. Parking was convenient about a couple of blocks from the start line. There was also an opportunity for warming up before the race. Temperature was about 80 F when the race started. But temperature kept increasing during the race. Hills were long with a very slight gradient. Turned back in Beaver Park. Started too fast, but adjusted the pace as much as possible.  Group picture was taken at around 7:15 AM. GARMIN-CONNECT. 
Saw several known runners at the start line and tried to keep their pace as much as possible for the first mile. It was a good idea to run the course last Sunday (Garmin-Connect). 









My friend Andres ran faster than me from the beginning of the race. I did not attempt to stay with him. I believed he was going too fast, but he was able to keep a good pace. I really liked the medal. Andres got a second place. He got a second medal with words in-scripted on the back describing his age group and second place.
