Silicon Valley Turkey Trot

noreply@blogger.com (Mario Orlando) — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 19:36:00 +0000

Thanks Giving started very well with the Silicon Valley Turkey Trot this morning. We enjoyed the 10K run in San Jose with a company of lots of people embracing the celebration of Thanks Giving for blessings received during the year. The weather, at the end stayed cloudy with no rain and finally came out with a beautiful fall sunny morning. The race was very well organized considering the amount of people of about 21,000 registrants.

We started the race with some drizzling rain, the start was congested with happy people around and quickly we arrive to mile 1, 2, 3, then we stopped at the PP and continued for the rest of the race.

Cristina did, great despite some complaints of her knees bothering a little; we arrived at the end in something around 1:20 h/(1:12 h net) embracing the theme of "RUNNING SUCKS!", one of the T-shirt we saw on the road.

It is so beautiful to see so many people running together in local race, there were people from everywhere, some athletes, some everyday people with a running shoes, and others that chose to walk in the 5K.

Net total of 6:36 mi in 1:12 h at 11:25 pace. Min./Max.: 54.6 °F/56.9 °F; Pressure: 1011.4 mbar; Humidity: 75.9%;
