Ever since I almost won a medal in the Soldier’s Field 10 Miler (circa 2007), I have always had the secret goal of placing in a race. Year after year, I’ve finished close to the top of smaller races…but never have I won a spot on the winner’s stand. A couple years ago, I decided I needed to win a medal before my 30th birthday, because the next age bracket tends to be more competitive.
Well, I finally reached that elusive goal this on Saturday at the Gardiner 5K Cupcake Classic!
Finally, I’m a winner!!
After a speedy race through the fields and country roads of Wrights Farm, I was awarded second place overall for females.
Leave it to me to medal in a race that is centered around cupcakes. However, when I decided to ride in another 5K on Sunday, I never expected to have a repeat performance…
