Fremont 5K
I ran the Fremont 5K Friday night, reaching my personal best time, 36 minutes, for a 5K. For those of you paying attention, this was about 3 minutes faster than the St. Paddy's Day Dash, although about flat with the Beat the Bridge Race a few weeks ago.
A few things about the race. It was an evening race, so very different dynamic than the usual early morning start. It was also on the smaller end, maybe 350 runners. And, the planners also sponsored a briefcase relay, which meant that I got to see teams of people dressed in wacky clothes, including riffs on the office worker garb, with a few carrying briefcases.
The race began/ended at Adobe Plaza, where a too small beer garden had been set up. Sadly, garlic was roasting in the oven and we had to skip the beer garden, but I was treated to a delicious spaghetti dinner after.
