Earworm Wednesday: Hurt the Dirt Trail Run Recap

Last Saturday I ran my first 5k trail run. It was hot, but awesome! I decided after this race that I'm not going to do regular 5k runs ever again. I'm going to stick to trail runs and themed runs (like a zombie run or a color run).

After the race with my weekly running/burger/beer buddy, Joe. I changed my shirt because my blue one was soaked.

To avoid a mouth-breather race pic, I promptly closed my mouth when I saw the camera:

Hi, I'm uncomfortable because I can't breathe!

See that girl behind me? She was trying to beat me but it didn't work. Bwahaha. I got to the finish line with a bunch of guys. The last 100 sprint was between a guy and me. I yelled out "DAMMIT!" as he passed me and he laughed. We high-fived at the finish line, so all's well that ends well.

The craziest thing about this race is the Facebook message I got from Joe on Sunday morning:

I quickly went onto the website and this is what I saw!

Yeah! See that!?! Second place in my age group! Plus, I was the oldest one and I still beat some ladies! The ladies in the next age group were a lot faster than us, but I don't care! I placed and won a gift certificate! It's going towards new running shoes. I don't know when new running shoes are in order, but I've been using my Brooks for a year and the bottoms are looking kind of worn.

For some reason, this song came into my head while I was in my celebratory mood:

Hehe.

This Sunday is the Tri Goddess Tri and I am PUMPED! I'm going to do this race in a sausage casing-esque tri suit and clip in pedals! I'm moving up in the world. I'm aiming for a meme-worthy performance:

Woo!

I'll tell you how it goes next week!
