We were shuttled to the starting point…

And then headed to the start line.
The run was more of a fun run…
As it was too crowded to really get a good stride.
But it was a good time.
We crossed the finish line…
Said hello to a fellow runner…
And then got our beers.
There were lots of people, but it was cold…
So we hopped on the shuttle and headed back to the car.
Another race, another metal.
My car wouldn’t start (fuel pump), so I had it towed to Robert’s to be fixed.
Hanging out with J.T. of RAR brewing.
He came back to my house after a few drinks to hang out.
