Total time was 1:45.
Worked the EX2 race starting at 8 AM. Came prepared to run the course after the last person was in, though the outcome was somewhat in doubt. It turned out that they needed someone to demark the first half of the course, and that was just what was needed to get me out for a workout instead of just driving home after I was done with the timing.
Somewhat pleasant morning in mid 70s with scattered rain showers. Skipped the race prologue, so only did ~ 5.5 miles, not the full 10K. Had a wet version of the map with me, but I was fine without it since the course was marked. And, it was a very well marked course, so I was stopping often in the first three miles taking down streamers, caution tape, and signs. I was cursing the person who had tied a bunch of the streamers to little rose bushes. Rained a bit during this part, and my glasses were worthless.
After the last of the markings, the running speed picked up, my glasses were clear again, but the map had disintegrated, so I was less sure of where I was going. Luckily, I was able to break out my phone and pull the map up on line and get back to the parking area.
I was very happy to see the O’Mobile and johnnies as I crested the last little hill.
