Amy and I ran in the Chase for Cupid's Arrow 5k on Saturday, which is held right next door to Valdese in Rutherford College. It was the second time we've run the race, which was postponed this year due to snow. The course is generally flat and unremarkable, save for a nasty 1/2 mile climb that occurs at mile 1. We finished around 25 minute, 46 seconds, essentially equalling our times from last year despite trying to conserve our legs and energy for the following day's bike racing. Nevertheless, Amy's time was good enough for second overall female, while I finished in 25:47 for second in my age group.
