Tartan Trot
Saturday morning will be my first ever 10k. I’ll be in Dunwoody, GA at St. Luke’s Presbyterian Church running the Tartan Trot 10k. I’ve been increasing my mileage for the Berry Half Marathon in March, but I just don’t feel too comfortable about the 10k distance yet. I’m kind of a pessimist by nature, so maybe I’m just worrying about nothing. My goal is under an hour. If I make it, great. If not, well, I’ll be disappointed, but I’ll have plenty of room for improvement.
The event looks like it will be well organized. They’re using the Ipico chip timing system. I haven’t seen this one yet, but I like the fact that there will be a chip timing system at all. They also have a 5k if anyone’s interested in a shorter distance. Also, as a bonus, they have a nice website with all the race information and a course map linked from mapmyrun. This was a definite game changer when I was deciding which race to run this weekend. A nice website is usually a sign of a well run event.
Hope to see some folks out there. Hope I’m not the one puking after the race.
