The hard part of turkey trots is freezing your arse off until they start. And there was a seroius speedwalker that always did the Quincy one. The goal was to beat the walker...

The race started at 8:15 and I was parking the car about 4 blocks away from the start at 8:05. We sprinted to the port of potties, then sprinted to the start line, and off we went. Not much waiting.

Numbers ... please say you passed 440. Please.

, I typically warm up by running 15+ minutes. The concept of warming up was foreign to me a few years ago...what a waste of energy I thought. Now it makes more sense to get the blood flowing a bit, so at the real start of a run I am more relaxed.

Turkey trots usually are crowded and have tougher logistics for dumping a layer of clothes a few minutes before start. And then they play the natl anthem.

We know the area well and knew where to park. I did warm up. I sprinted from the car to the pisser, and then from the pisser to the start line. There was a 2 minute wait there where I stretched.

We had no national anthem.
