Had a great time this morning at the Kumquat Festival 5K in Dade City.
Finished in 18:53, 1st in age group and 3rd overall. Weather was perfect in the low 40s.
We started off pretty fast. Had a few kids from the high school blasted off in front of me. I picked off 3 within a mile and stayed there to finish 3rd.
The course was actually measured correct this year coming in at 3.16 vs. 2.94 last year. We ran farther down the road by the middle school than we have the other years. They have a really good course. You start on a decent hill with a nice down stretch. The first mile is fast. Most of the 2nd mile and into the 3rd is up hill with the last half mile or so downhill.
Medals for 1st place age groups were decent. Sadly, they only gave 2nd and 3rd place ribbons. C'mon guys, pop an extra couple bucks and give everyone medals!
A great thing today was meeting two more of our friends Lisa and Kevin from the Dailymile website. We had a blast hanging out with them!!
Next up is the Dade City Half Marathon next Sunday.
