My first GATE River Run 15k! Such a huge race event!

Here I am with some of the Florida Track Club members after the race:

I am happy with my race, ran a nice PR of 59:50 for 15k (avg. 6:26 per mile), placed 226 out of 15,492 overall, 20th in my age group (out of 1014!), and earned a top-10 percent hat.

I came home with a nice pile of swag, including a great looking pint glass and really nice t-shirt:



I rode up to Jacksonville the night before the race in one of the FTC vans to spend the night in a hotel near the festivities. Sadly I didn't sleep well but it didn't seem to affect my race. I did get a good photo of the Main Street bridge at night, from the Hilton.
