The IronBaby Running Experience

TBR Dream Team Run

Its my first time to run in Nuvali, the breeze is very soothing with trees and a wide grassy plain. The uphills are not that challenging which makes enjoyable and the downhills were just right to help us glide through the course. Most of the route is just like traversing a straight course and only a few gradual turns.
I only saw a few running friends, because this was an exclusive event for Dream Marathon Alumni and participants. I saw "the bull" entering the premises quite early expecting that she will run, unfortunately she didn't. It seemed that most of the runners know each other already. As for me I could count the people I know with my fingers and toes.

This was my first team run by the way, its an amazing experience since I was with two of the first friends I met on the road. Our team is composed of three members. One was the "veteran", hes a one time marathoner and had a number of halves and afroman distances, his lovely girlfriend who was the first timer to run 21k, and me.

I had two objectives in mind when I entered the premises. One was to evaluate and test the route where Ill be having my next full marathon, and second one was my favorite, to be with a friend, to finish her first half-marathon. We enjoyed chatting while running, not realizing we already are closing the finish and had a run for about 3 hours.

I was exhausted after the run, I don't know if it was the running or the chatting which drained me. Hopefully I will have a good time on my next marathon!

Thanks for the great race Jaymie!
