Shamrock Shuffle 2009
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009On Saturday, I really wasn’t looking forward to running the Shamrock Shuffle because of the snow in the forecast. Sunday morning it was snowing pretty hard. While driving into Chicago, we couldn’t see the buildings — good thing we know where things are! After freezing in the starting corrals for 15-20 minutes the race started.
The first mile was the most painful but it was better once I warmed up. Over all the course was wet and slushy since it was about 34 deg and snowing.
I was happy with my time – 47:38. I was also very wet and tired at the end — here are some photos.
Alisse was there, too. She stood on the sidelines in 6″ of standing freezing water. I don’t know if she’ll come again.
