I ...nice! that race does sound like a lot of fun! I love that people don their red flannel for the race; I can imagine it really makes the atmosphere. Well done your time as well! and to be injury-free! My kingdom for nothing more than a little muscle pain! <br /><br />There is a race I've done about 5 times now, I skipped it this year, but it's always the 2nd week of january, and it's on the coast of the north sea. It is COLD. And WINDY. And yet I find myself there year after year (either for the quarter-marathon or the half) dealing with wind and freezing temps and 7KM of beach and 7KM of dunes... but yeah, after I finish it's always like "wow, I can't believe what a badass I am!" There is another race, a month later (we missed it this year!) ALSO on the coast, cold, windy, dunes... 10K, Half or 30KM (people use it as a training for Rotterrdam) that we've done several times which has similar scenery but not as treacherous - that one you don't get a medal, but you get a towel... hahaha! It's a special towel and most of our "workout" towels are from this race! My husband said to me Sunday "Hey! I am missing my towel today!" We totally missed the ball on signing up for it this year. Next year, we'll go back for the towel ;)Renee @pinkypiehttp://lowfatpie.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-31787845815218085622017-02-16T08:11:44.091-06:002017-02-16T08:11:44.091-06:00Sounds like a fun race!
