Race for the Steaks 5K

This was the first year this race was put on and it was excellent.  Definitely one we would participate in again. There was a 15K and a 5K option and Thomas and I both chose the 5K.
The race started at 4pm which was different than we are used to.  I was feeling sluggish beforehand and told Thomas I didn't plan on racing this one.
Once it started I settled into my pace and just tried to stick with those around me.
I finished and was greeted by Traci from the Idaho Beef Council who also runs Team Beef.  She told me I was the first woman 5Ker!
The top three woman got coolers filled with steaks! Best prize ever.
Afterwards all participants got a steak dinner made by Goodwood Barbeque.  Way better than a banana and bagel. The only bummer about this race was it was quite a bit short 2.9 miles instead of 3.1 can't count it as a PR.
But for sure will run this race next year.
