Had a fantastic race. Ran the whole race at a fairly even effort. The course at Kumquat is one of the better courses. There isn't hardly a flat spot on the course, but the hills aren't too much that they will wipe you out. All of mile two is a slight uphill. I was shocked to see my finishing time of 18:00. I was thinking that the course was short since my Garmin only showed 2.94 miles. I measured the course at www.mapmyrun.com and the course measured out to 3.15 and the mile markers showed the same as they were on the course. So, I am not sure what to think. I still find it hard to believe that I could pull off an 18 minute 5K. Overall, I placed 5th and was first in my age group. Next race is this Saturday in Plant City for the Strawberry Distance Challenge 5K being held at Walden Lakes.

One of the great things about the Kumquat race is that after, you walk across the street to enjoy the Kumquat Festival.
