Yesterday was the Lake Region Run in Fergus Falls, Minnesota. What we did this time was arrive at Maplewood State Park, about 40 minutes north of Fergus Falls, on Friday afternoon, camp there overnight in our pop-up trailer, and then head over to the race early in the morning.
It was a beautiful day - maybe a little too beautiful - about 73 degrees and sunny at the start of the race.
Here we are waiting for the starting gun. I'm back in the middle of the crowd. I didn't want to hinder faster runners by being up front.
The gun went off!
This is a hilly race. Most of the first half of the race is up-hill. I was a little concerned. My time didn't seem very good. Then I started to pick up some speed on the down-hill sections.
It was shortly before this photo, with about 2 minutes left in the race, that I realized I could end up with a pretty good time. That gave me a real boost.
I came in third place with my best time since 2014!
