This was a ton of fun. We ran all over the Citadel campus, which I have never seen before. And the finish was really cool, we ran into the riverdogs stadium through left field and crossed homeplate, where about 6-7 players were standing giving high-fives. This was my first 5k and my only real goal was to try and beat 8 min miles (which I have never done during workouts), so I was pumped to see my time. And when the lady asked me if I would like a beer after I finished, little piece of heaven.

Save a touch more for the end. I ran most of the race pacing with a girl about the same age (who looked in much better shape) only to be dusted by her at the end with nothing I could do about it.

Beer and Pasta(provided). A ticket to the game was also included, so a bunch of friends met me out for a good night.


No sleep the night before, possibly the tacos, but I doubt it, I think they gave me a little boost from time to time.


Seemed disorganized at the start. And I did not know you were not suppose to remove the bottom part of your race number for timing purposes(no chips). Other than that, great time, sitting and watching baseball after was perfect.
