Confidence booster race! Placed 1st in my age division- yippee! This was a small race through the pretty community of Rural Hall. The morning was rainy and although there were 180 registrants the attendance we definitely not that!! Kim, Stacie, Nicole & I ventured out in the rain and had a great time. 3 out of the 4 of us placed in our AD, so great race for us! The race was advertised as fast & flat- well, that is a bit of a stretch. It has 3 small hills in the first half! Most of it was flat though. It was well ran, cheerleaders giving splits at every mile and 4 aid stations. This was an out & back which I usually don't like, but the turn around point was around mile 4 (as I recall?) and it was actually encouraging to see the first finishers coming back. Way more men than women running this race interestingly enough? The shirt was a nice beefy hanes T with a fun halloween design (orange shirt!)
