5 May 2017 - Annual Mason State Bank 5K Race

 

5 May 2017 - Commercial Bank Mason 5K Race

This was my eighth year of the Mason 5K race. As last year, my goals were (1) to finish the race and (2) to avoid finishing with my worst time ever. I wasn't really prepared this year and didn't train at all (though my wife and I have been walking at least 8,000 steps a day, which is somewhat over 5K in length). So, I succeeded on the first count but failed on my second. I finishing with a time a little over a minute slower than my previous low result. My time was a little over a minute slower than my previous low. My times for all eight years are displayed to the right. Of course I am disappointed, but I still feel pretty good with my effort and did finish the race.

As with last year, all photos were taken with the iPhone 6 Plus. The iPhone provided a compact camera with adequate quality to document the event. I tried jogging as much as possible to keep my speed up, but as the race progressed jogging became more difficult. The weather conditions where far better than expected with no rain and temperatures higher than expected. I treated myself to an ice cream sundae at home (with my home-made chocolate sauce) as a reward for participating in and completing the race. The shots I took of myself (bottom of this page) show me immediately after finishing this grueling race.
