Tulsa, OK

This was a fun time. I went into this race knowing I hadn't trained
enough, and fully expecting to cramp up in the late miles. I was there
to enjoy the race, and I did.
Who knew there would be hills in Tulsa? I was expecting a flat
course, but the first eight miles or so had continuous small hills,
probably two per mile. We ran through a residential neighborhood, then
a few more miles downtown, before heading out and back along the
Arkansas River for the last 12 miles. I did appreciate the long flat
second half.
The night before the race, I met the entertainment director for the
race. Each mile along the route showcased a local band, or, a belly
dancer, flame swallower, or dj. The crowds were sparse but loud and
friendly. Post race was ralaxing in a park, helping the beer truck
staff finish their load, so they wouldn't have to return full kegs.
Always trying to be helpful.
Overall, this was a fun, friendly, well-run race. I'm looking forward
to a little rest before I get back into exercising my legs to build
them up for the next big adventure.
