I ran the Daisy 5K this morning. It was a beautiful morning with a lot of runners out. The race started at the Rogue store, just east of the freeway. The area looked pretty depressed, with numerous homeless people (I think) in sleeping bags on the lot just across the street from the starting point. South by South West (SXSW) was just finishing up this weekend, so perhaps they were here for the music and decided to sleep in a vacant lot. I'm not sure There was also a lot of rubbish all around. I am sure bringing in business like Rogue's running store will help the the area.
About four blocks down from Rogue's store was a new stop for the commuter railway. It was not done yet, but it looked like it will be very nice when it is done. For my warm up, I ran down to it, then back.
The timed women started at 8AM and the timed men started 3 minutes later. It was a really good course. I was expecting a lot of hills but they never materialized. It was a gradual downhill run to the river, then a gradual uphill run back to the start.
Since I didn't expect an easy course, I did not really try to break any of my records. The night before I was out riding my bike and earlier in the week I did six miles of trail running. So my time was about thirty seconds slower than the previous week.
Here is the Motionbased results:
