The run started at the Athletic Centre at 9:00 am and ended at the San Carlos Beach Club. What a beautiful setting to conclude this fundraiser which raised over $5000 for the rescue system of San Carlos. We think there were over 300 runners and Fred did well finishing in the top 50 - not bad for only preparing for one month. I, on the other hand, had the misfortune of injuring my hamstring on Friday and didn't do as well as I had hoped. I did finish in the top 120 runners and would probably have placed third in my age category if things had gone the way they should have. The officials placed me in the wrong group and as a result I went unnoticed. Regardless, the point was not to win, but to support Rescate and to improve our health. It was a well organized event and we will gladly do it again next year.
As you can well image the rest of the day was spent lounging in our outside living room watching the NFL playoffs.

I suspect that you were slowed down because of doing dual duty, that is, checking out the Palapa Bars and participating in the 5k run at the same time.
Sort of like a "pub-crawl"?
