After a while I saw the 1 Mile sign. I kept running ..turning and twisting and following the group. I heard something behind me and I looked back and saw a person on an electric wheelchair listening to music and going along. I stayed in front of him.

I kept running and I didn't see the 2 mile sign. I think they forgot to put it up. I saw the aid station and got some water. I drank a little bit. I kept running and turning. I ran past the starting line and I knew I was almost done. I rounded the bend and saw the finish line. I ran hard into it. I felt good! I got 2nd place in my age group.WP_20160221_001160221_stampede_5k_grammie_girls
