Richmond: Best Buy lot to Chimney Rock and back
Had some trouble getting to my favorite parking lot for this race due to some road closures that weren't there last year, simple warmup, ditched my clothes in the car and made my way to the start, singer forgot some of the lyrics to the national anthem (nerves, I hope).

One of my better starts to this race, got excited when I saw an OnUrLeft jersey but it wasn't Kelly, caught up and worked with two other younger guys through the second 5k, good race except for a stitch right at the finish which stopped any kick in its track, splits: 5:34, 5:32, 5:47, 5:39, 5:51, 6:40 (1.22 mi), 35:00 chip, 35:05 gun, 11th overall out of 2,539, 11th male out of 1,271, 2nd male 25 to 29 out of 214.

Jogged back to the car, put on some more clothes and pretty much did the same route as the warmup, put some more clothes on and went back to claim some food and my award, didn't run into Chris or Mr. Ulrich, Happy Thanksgiving!
