Rochester Bloomer Park 5K

Location: Rochester's Bloomer Park.

Course: Bloomer Park, known for hills was definitely a challenge, even though it was only 5K.

Temp: 40 degrees F
Time: 8:30AM

Finish: 19:21 (2nd Overall)

The first mile is nice, half is downhill, then you have a 90 degree turn, and another to return back up the same hill. In perspective of the rest of the course, that first hill starts to look like it's all flat. The best part of this race was knowing that I was only .1 miles from the winner, and had been sick just 2 days beforehand. With more consistent training, and better health, it would have been an interesting finish.
