Cowabunga 5k Virtual Race Recap

I signed up to run the Cowabunga 5k Virtual Race in June.  I ran it as part of the social run I do with Gooses Acre Running Club.  With the heat, I had no goals for time... I just wanted to have a fun run, I thought running in a group would make it seem more "racey".

The Cowabunga 5k  Virtual Run, was organized by Level Up Runs.  This is my 3rd virtual run I have participated in, and I enjoyed this experience as much as the first.  Unlike their other races, where you can choose your distance (5k, 10k, or half marathon), this one was specifically a 5k.

It was super hot the day I chose to run.  I took walking water breaks... walking for a tenth of a mile for every mile ran. I was thankful every time I hit a patch of shade and for the breeze.

The route was along a waterway, it is flat for the most part, the only elevation is going up to a bridge over the water. I kept up a decent pace and even ran a little extra.

When I finished, I entered in my details into the "Submit Your Results" area on levelupruns.com for accountability purposes.
