A partly cloudy morning greeted NORSA co-founder, Adam D, as he awoke at 7:00 AM after getting immunizations and watching Jay Leno's final Tonight Show the day before. Not bothering to shower since he was about to run a race, Adam made it to the start with plenty of time to register and stretch before the 8:00 AM start time of the St. Francis of Assisi "Run For Peace" 5K. So, after tying his running shoes, Adam went to the packet pick-up and donned his bib for the race.
The race started promptly at 8:00 AM and took Adam and the other runners through neighborhood areas near St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church. The course went through a pleasant neighborhood with mild to moderate rolling hills. The fellow who won the race was from Raleigh, NC. The times were chip-computed and it's a pretty solid fact that he finished in exactly 16 minutes and 2 seconds.
After the race, massages were available, bagels and Gatorade were provided, as well as bananas and oranges - the usual post-race shenanigans that follow most road-running races.
