Finished it in one hour and 20 minutes. I can finish it earlier but I have my friends with me and one has having trouble with her shoe having so much mud because she doesn't wear sock.
What a nostalgic feeling, this was normal for me back in High School due to training to be an officer. And now I get to do it for fun. Including a beer afterwards and an awesome looking medal. Must try for everyone that is not too sensitive. Only downside for me is I bought tickets for my parents which was not used and SMR said I can use it for next year but not sure if there will be a run or it will be on the same place. I hope there will be another one and if it is not on the same place, I will go since I don't want it to go to waste.
Pointers for future:
- Buy it in Groupon- always cheaper.
- Wear long socks
- Wear shoes that has more grip than those made for gym/flat surfaces
- Do not walk slow since your energy will be less, brisk walk.
- Help others if necessary, don't ignore people talking to you
- Have the early wave. As late as it gets, it will be warmer and dirtier
- Get the beer afterwards. You paid for it.
- Don't wear jewelry that's too important. You'll never know how clumsy you will be.
Most importantly, HAVE FUN!
I got 12k steps before lunch at Pechanga Cafe. What a productive day. And I even worked afterwards
