It's a 5k -- that means the recap ought to be short, right? Wrong! So wrong! So here's the short story: always a fun race that starts too late on a hot day (usually); plenty of water, thank goodness; and while no PR, it was a PB (personal best) for me, for this race.

This is never what you want to wake up to on race day -- in April! Delmar is about a 20 minute drive south for me, and the roads were a snowy, slushy mess.
