This race was in Bremerton, WA. The address listed was just an intersection. I didn't think it would be too hard to find. I looked it up on Mapquest! I got to the area in plenty of time, but there was no race! My friend and I drove around and around looking and asking people. No one knew anything.
Finally, I saw some people about 1/2 a block away. I jumped out of the car and ran through the intersection towards them. About 30 seconds before I got there, I heard a horn and they all took off running! The race had started!
I ran up to the few remaining people and said, "Was that the race?" They said Yes, but the walk will start in just a minute. I ripped off my sweats and jacket and said that I had already registered and where to pick up my bib #. A guy just told me to start running and he would get me the # later. I ran and caught up with everyone and placed 5th overall and 1st woman. I don't have a time for my race because my Garmin wasn't ready and they didn't post them online.
Now, before you go thinkin' I'm all that and a bag of chips...............there were only 29 people in the race! LOL Everyone was so friendly. The terrain was so different than what I was used to. Lots of steep up and downs. It was fun.
