virginia is for racers

Alenda and I spent the weekend racing in Abingdon, VA. She ran the Highlands Spring Chase 15K on Saturday, and I ran the Virginia Creeper Marathon on Sunday. The forecast looked good when we left, but on the way the temperature dropped into the forties and it started raining. Conditions were not ideal, but Alenda did well, running the course in 85 minutes. She got third place in the female division. The 15K was also on the Creeper Trail.
The area is beautiful.
The weather was worse on Sunday with rain and temps in the thirties. I was cold at the start line.
I still finished strong in 3:29. My goal was 8 minute miles and I averaged 7:59.
It was a great weekend.
I paddled the Watauga nearly 20 times in March. These shots are from an early run.
