Deb places 3rd!

It was an overcast but extremely humid (about 100%) morning

We were up early and off to the 7 am start at the University de Mayab

ANAHUAC

Goldie was not too happy to be up so early, but enjoyed the car ride

Too hot for her to run though

 

 

Caro, me, Jorge and Suemy,

our dentist team, and very good friends,

and now Goldie's temporary summer family :)

Running is very popular, with races almost every weekend now that it's springtime.

Here is the University's mascot

 

It was a typical 5km walk/10km run

 

They have a great warm up session

 

And many of us took part!

 

Ready, set ... Go!

 

Vic's new amigos, the ambulance staff, just in case!

 

And off we all go!

 

I stood out because I wasn't wearing orange!

This is me with just a few hundred meters to go!

Happy to be almost done!

 

And even happier now that I'm under the finish line showers - great invention!

 

A whole row of showers in case we all want to shower at the same time!

Could be a group shower :) Clothes mandatory of course!

And I placed third in my age class, with a great time for me of 51:39! Great trophy, super medals, and I even won $500 (pesos)!
