Beat the traffic out of Minneapolis and made good time getting to Fargo on Friday. Braved the blustery winds to pick up our packets--winds that were a preview of race day.
Race day conditions:
- Cloudy
- Cold temps (started in the 30s and made it to the 40s during the race)
- Windy (Tina warned me that Fargo is always windy)
Highlights of the trip:
- Dinner at Spitfire with Tina's longtime friend Lisa and Lisa's daughter Molly
- Ran into a family from my church, two of whom were in the race
- Cool swag--a nice long-sleeved tech shirt and fabulous Under Armor drawstring bag
- Finally, a flat course
- The first 10 miles of the race (the last 3 were brutal running into the cold wind without a lot of energy left)
- Tina's first half marathon (finished 10+ minutes faster than me, my finish time was 2:31)
- Lunch with Tina's parents and Matthew

Thanks to the race organizers for a smooth and enjoyable race experience!
