Mikel and I ran the Great Gobbler in Maumelle this weekend and had a great time! It was pretty cold, but warmed up a little when the sun came out. There was a pretty good crowd for the race, and it was the first one ever. It was sponsored by the Hot Legs Running Club - a women's running club - and from what we over heard, a 16 year old put it together! The t-shirts look a little odd with a big giant turkey on the front, but what could you expect from a race called the Great Gobbler?
Neither of us improved our overall time, but I felt really good during the race and after. It even had several hills! I finished 6th out of 17th in my age group and 31st out of 120 women overall. Mikel finished 11th out of 19 in his age group and 52nd out of 119 men overall. There was even an 84 year old woman who ran the race and finished in under an hour! I passed her and said to myself, I want to do that when I am her age!! She came in 1st in her age category.
Pics of the race to come later...we may even be in a local magazine....
