2013 Kelly Shamrock 5K

Before the start



My first 5K in almost 2 years! Just like the Baltimore Half, I helped a good friend and his family train for this 5k. I stayed with him the whole time! We couldn't have asked for more perfect weather. The post race beer was exciting , too . Thanks Charm City Run!

I finished 1891 out of 4241, my bib number was 2513, and my time was 31:03
Downhill at the start
Me with Ellen & Katie, two XC running buddies from high school!
Overall rating? A
Main complaints? None
Favorite parts? The fun atmosphere
Communication before the race? A
Expo? A. Packet pickup was at your local Charm City Run store, which was very convenient 
Premium? B. Brooks tech shirt, gender specific, but the women's cut is always short...
Water Stops/Aid Stations? A. Just the right amount for a 5K. Wish they had used paper cups though!
Finisher's Medal? N/A
Finisher's Festival? A+ . Unlimited beer :)
Would I run this race again/recommend it to anyone? Yup, especially since the St. Patty's Day parade is right afterwards
