My Color Vibe 5k

I ran my first color vibe race today. It's an interesting experience. When you first show up other racers greet you by throwing some of their colored corn starch on you. Then during the race there are color stations where more color is thrown at you. It adds a fun element to the race.

I, however found the race to be quite frustrating. I was not prepared to run a race where the large majority of participants were walking. And there was no room to pass them. I wove in and around the crowd the best I could--sprinting and walking in intervals.

Would I do it again? Yes: If I brought Ella and walked it for fun.
