Windermere 10k (5k), Winermer, FL
I headed for Orlando, FL this past week, and while I was down there, I decided on a little racing. I found one on Saturday which was about 9 miles from where I was staying in Windermere, FL. They were having a 10k and 5k. On the days leading up to the race, I started getting emails about the race. Seems that Florda was getting an extra helping of rain. At least enough that they were considering altering the course. Go figure. It is Florida. Doesn't it rain just about every day. But I digress. So, they ended up canceling the 10k sort of. They altered their course to just be a 5k and gave us to options. We could be moved to the 5k race and compete in it, or we could stay in the 10k race and be scored as if we had run the 10k. So, two races, two 5ks, and two sets of awards. I chose to stay in the 10k race. So, the separate starts became one start on a narrow road with over 1100 runners. I was a full minute into the race before reaching the starting line....
