The run was a fine one. Before the race, large number of
people were taking a variety of photos. This continues once the race started. On
a couple of occasions, I encountered guys running with video cameras. I’m for
people having fun at every their they do, but the truth is very few people want
to see a video of a road race. If any do, a minute or so will certainly satiate
any appetite.
Really, I feel confident about that statement. I invite you
to go out to a race any given Saturday.
Generally, only a sparse handful of spectators line the streets and
these include family members and very loyal friends. If going to those lengths sound
much to exhausting, then look up a video on the internet of someone running
with a mobile video camera. Watch a segment or two and see if you agree with
me. Let’s face it, running is not an engaging or sexy sport.
As for actual running, this Atlanta 10 Miler was terrific
race. The course had a few hills, as is
the case when running in Atlanta. Nonetheless, the path snaked through Atlantic
Station going and coming, scenic neighborhoods, and of course covered a few
miles on Peachtree Street, hence the namesake of the Triple Peach races. As a
teenager, I spent a lot of time in the areas crossed by the race. I enjoyed the
nostalgia while cruising along the familiar streets.
At the end of the grand race runners received a medal hefty
enough to use in a resistance workout.
It’s nice.
One more Peach to RUN!
