Blue Moon Wicked 10K
October 30, 2010
Virginia Beach, Virginia
Allison participated in the second annual Blue Moon Wicked 10K held in Virginia Beach, Virginia. She did not miss her starting wave (first wave!!) this time and was able to cruise along the flat, coastal course at a 7:54/m pace and notched herself a new 10K PR.
Allison “beat the train” (a group of employees from a local running store holding up scaffolding as a group making it look as if they were a train) but did not realize that she was to receive a prize for this. The technical socks would have been nothing, though, to the hand carved, tiki head trophy that Allison’s father won after placing third in his age group. The event was well organized and plenty of spectators lined the course to cheer on the (mostly) costumed racers. The registration fee is high for a 10K ($55 plus registration fees) but runners receive aluminum water bottles, tech tees, skull caps and, get this, medals…that double as bottle openers. Absolutely, positively the coolest and most useful medal received to date.
