    2010 Children's TLC Hunt Midwest Groundhog Run 10k

    Great race today. And to my surprise and delight, another PR!

    So the first mile I realized was way too fast. Second I really thought was slower. Third, started to notice oxygen debt so pulled up a bit. (My wife told me at the half way point I really looked like I was struggling). And I felt that way too. I convinced myself to keep the pack I was with in sight and just relax back for miles 4 and 5 and then see what I had for the last 1.2. With about 1 mile left I hooked up with a runner who had caught up to me and we just pushed each other to the finish.

    What a great event!

    What a unique race!

    I had two friends drive up from Wichita to do this race and along with two from KC we all made it a part of a fun weekend. Great and unique race for sure! Might be niece to have some clocks at a few more points as I think pacing was a little tough. Overall great crowd and good race.

    Second Time Around

    This was my second Groundhog run 5K. It was congested the first 1/2 mile, because we were all trying to stay within the cones. But after that it was a good time. the course is flat with no wind (it is all indoors) it was cool to be in that environment and still not feel confined. They did a good job of organizing this race. Although, they do need more bathroom spots at the start.

    Yes there are mile markers but not always accurate. For the 10k, it's a two loop course. Last year, I seem to remember that miles 1&4 were a little long while 2 & 5 were short.

    So I'm guessing my trusty Garmin is not going to work during the Groundhog Run right? Can someone tell me if there are mile markers?
