Race #9 - Thunder Chicken 5K

This weeks race had a lot of firsts for Team Cameron. It was our first night race and our first race with a personal timing system. Gianina got me a Timex Ironman Solar (just $39 on EBay!) to keep my own split times. The surprise of the day came when we arrived at Strawberry Banke for check-in to find that we were the first entry this year. I had the dubious distinction of wearing #1 on my race bib. Ugh, lots of pressure. Not that I expected to compete for the win, though you certainly don't want to roll in at the 30 minute mark either. I certainly knew that the goal was to improve on our best thus far of 22:56.
