POTOSI 5K/10K

I sure had an awesome weekend of running this past weekend.  It started in Potosi, Wisconsin where Bill and I co-directed this year’s Potosi Brewery 5K/10K race.  It was a nice morning and everything went off just great.  This was the first race I’ve been involved in on this level and I really enjoyed it and hope to do more.  I was a little nervous going in as we were timing the race on a program I recently found online that I downloaded onto my laptop.  It went very well though and results were out fast and accurate.  We had also measured the course several times and it was nice to get feedback from the runners that they enjoyed the marks being right on target.   We are looking forward to working with the Potosi Foundation in the future and they are looking at possibly adding on a ½ marathon distance to their races next year; sure looks like good things on the horizon with them!

So I wasn’t able to hang in Potosi too long as I had to pack up the DRC tent and head to the Quad Cities to setup camp again for the marathon Sunday.   It just so happened we ran into the race director for the Quad Cities Marathon, Joe Moreno, at Steve’s Old Time Chaser 5K this spring and he generously offered the DRC a spot to setup our tent to hang out post-race in the party area.   On Joe’s instruction we setup in the afternoon on Saturday right after registration and got done just in time to eat dinner with Bart Yasso and his girlfriend who were speaking that night, it was a pretty cool evening!
