According to the Florida Times-Union, "Seasoned runners set a blistering pace early, but most participants moved along the 3.1-mile race at a breezy walk. The tide of pink clothing gradually became a darker shade as the waning summer heat coaxed sweat from the brows of participants."
Yep - that's pretty much how it all went down! Team MC had a great turn-out, and I had a blast walking with my group. When we traveled one portion of the route past the Maxwell brewing center and the heavenly scent of fresh coffee beans acosted my uncaffeinated senses, I thought I was going to have a little trouble. But we kept a good pace by high-fiving the packs of shrieking, pom-pom shaking cheerleading positioned at street corners for encouragement. We finished the race in about 45 minutes, and saved enough juice at the end to run the final leg into the finish!
MC runners gathered at the Jaguar statue outside the stadium for a pre-race picture (might be kind of tough to see, but I'm in the second row a couple people in from the left -- wearing a white t-shirt).
Metro Park was full of creative t-shirt slogans and outfits. It was great to see how many fellas came out to support the "ta-tas."
