This was my second year participating in the 25K. The race is held in Fort Worth, Texas. The 50K runners start at 12 am and the 25K runners start at 12:10 am. The course is 5 5K loops at Trinity Park. Unbelievably the temps were fantastic compared with last year. We started in the upper 70s and it fell from there. There are a ton of spectators near the start/finish. The atmosphere reminds me of tailgating before a football game.

My only goal was to run sub-3 hours. I was able to do that easily with a few minutes to spare. I think the weather played a large part. I am pleased that I was almost 30 minutes faster than last year(it was brutally hot then).
