Great race at the Real Florida 10k in Wekiwa Springs State Park on February 26.
Sunny and 80'f, lots of sugar sand and 212' of climbing made it a challenge. Two bears ran across the course at mile 2; everyone was amazed! Great turnout for Wekiva Wilderness Trust with 311 participants. I bested my last year's time by nearly 3 minutes at 1:07:08 and finished 4th out of 7 in Male 65-69.
Lots of friends here too; Drs. Matt and Judye Sokolov Leavitt, Jim Payne from WESH2, and Madeleine Verwilt Vergauwen.
