I kind of like the tough races (such as this) because the course "levels the field" a bit ;-) And, although I may feel like a wimp at the time, I usually feel like a champ for having finished.

It has some small hills, but now I know the course so well that I can't complain. I hate huge hills in a race. All three of my legs at my first Ragnar Relay had horrible hills on them!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15673587906852568968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-88654491259366094332016-07-06T16:42:17.523-04:002016-07-06T16:42:17.523-04:00I probably would have said the same thing about th...I probably would have said the same thing about the hill! However, I love hills and I would probably include it on a training run! Interesting that you and your friend had different experiences at the same race! <br />My aunt lives in GA and she was talking about yellow watermelon when they were up in January and I didn't believe her! I guess it really does exist! I wonder what it tastes like!!!
