I have to say I wasn't really sure what to expect but went in with a good attitude and ended up loving it.
It was a 5k along Clearwater Beach, FL. It was nice and cool with the sea breeze and the beautiful sunset. I didn't get tired like I thought I would just because I was really distracted by everyone else running around and looking out at the sea.
I have to admit it was funny seeing so many shod runners running on sand and freaking out when they got to puddles left behind from high tide while I just run through them and make extra splashes for fun.
Really was a fun time and I feel I did well for my first race with a 32:11 not fast but I was aiming for quicker than 35, so I was definitely happy with that. All I know is now I'm hooked...can't wait for my next race!
