Sedalia Turkey Trot, Thanksgiving 2012

I ran the Sedalia Turkey Trot this morning. I am incredibly pleased. It was really fun and surprisingly well organized for such a tiny event. There were about 200 people (that I saw) and there were some serious athletes participating.

I made a few mistakes with this run... I had about half a papa john's pizza the night before and I felt like I was running through a tub of cheese around mile 2.

My mom took these photos!

So the photos ahead are a tiny bit unflattering, but I am so proud of myself that I think I can swallow a little bit of it.

Park on the grass!

Wore too much clothing!

I'm so happy my parents were there.

With a small race you dont even have to organize a meeting location. People are just right where you left them.

Cheese.

This lady won! No cash prize tho, maybe next year.

The male winner.

They didn't close down the road. That car is being particularly nice though.

Both my feet are off the ground!

So happy to be there.

A decent sized event

Bing Bing waited in the car during the race.

Thats me on the left!

The pack takes off.

I didn't catch that man's name, but he told me that he got that awesome jacket by being on the olympic committee. I am beyond impressed.

The event was held at the Sedalia County Budweiser distribution office.

Me, my dad, and bing bing.

there was music for the before and after coordination. You know, this is the first time i've been apart of a race with announcements at the beginning.
