Sturgis Falls 5k

So, I am a complete ditz (like you didn't know). I was so focused on getting through the bathroom line at this race that I forgot to take my medicine that keeps my heart rate down. I have to take it because my heart rate will keep rising right to the point I may have a heart attack if I don't. (it's weird...after all those heart tests, there's nothing wrong...I just have a more elevated heart rate than most people)

So, I ended up having to walk parts of this race. That's a tad frustrating because I felt great after the last couple of days (I really focused on getting my body ready this time). I would have smoked the My Waterloo Days time I logged a couple of weeks ago. Oh well, I learned some new things leading up to this race and can improve for next time -- that's what it's all about, right?

This was Dad's first 5k. He walked with some friends from Grundy. He had been logging 3 miles in 50-55 minutes -- He finished in under 55 minutes!




the fire department ran in full gear, changing out tanks a couple of times. This is right a the finish line.

here i come



here comes Dad.
