10K Race Firecracker in Cleveland Recap
On July 2, 2017 Jill and I ran our first 10K together in downtown Cleveland. The 6.2 miles was the longest distance race I had ever done. Jill had done a 1oK once before. The course was flat, right on Lake Erie -- Hot weather on an out and back run. The race was called YMCA Firecracker because it was on 4th of July weekend. We got up to Cleveland early in the cool morning hours so we'd be there in plenty of time. Nice that the parking meters in downtown were turned off, so that we didn't have to pay to to park. We stood in line to pick up our bibs -- of course the music was blaring really loudly, aimed right to the registration desk....
