I have a goal of doing a 5k with the kids on a monthly basis. Jonathan and I have done this before (racing), but I'm now making Lauren join as well. This race was at night out at Cricket Wireless Ampitheater. The sky was looking very ominous. Indeed, shortly before race start, the rain, wind, lightening, and HUGE drops started falling. We waited until the last minute before exiting the car. By the time we got to race start, we were soaked (no joke) and debating whether we were going to run this or not. The rain was lightening up, so we decided to go for it. We were glad that we did as it stayed dry the rest of the night.
Race management was inadequate for the dark and the number of people. We followed all the people in front of us and ended up cutting off 2 of the 5 k. Turned out okay because it was late and the kids were getting tired. Overall, we had a good time and are glad that we did it, but I do not think we will do it again.
