28th Annual Resolution Run - West Des Moines, Iowa
January 1, 2013...Starting the year off right!!
Temperature at the start of the race: -11°F (yes there is a negative sign in front of this temperature)Distance: Advertised as a 5K (3.1 miles), but was actually only 2.8 miles
Terrain: The run was all on sidewalks with rolling hills (they were not cleared off very well in many spots and were thus icy)
Number of Participants: There were 280 registered participants, but I know they didn't all show up!!
Post Race Grub: Hot Caribou Coffee, water, apples and bananas
This race is not chip timed and the fan support was very limited. Who can blame anyone though...I don't want to stand outside on a very cold Iowa morning and cheer on a bunch of crazy runners and I happen to be one of those crazy runners!!
