5 Peaks: Kortright 2017

10/30/2017

Kortright...The first rainy and cold race of the series for me. When Maria, Kate and I arrived, we discovered the toasty-roasty indoor visitor centre with it's indoor washrooms. We couldn't stay inside forever so made our way out to find the girls. It was just drizzling thankfully. I wound up running this one with Leanne, Maria and Kate and know I slowed them down (I was still recovering from my 50K #6intheSix bike ride and half marathon), but since we were all out there for fun, they said they didn't mind (and I know to believe my friends when they say that now!) 

Upon finishing we got changed (now it was raining so I chose to not put on my dry pants, and yes, was asked repeatedly why I was wearing flip flops and shorts) and headed back to the finish to cheer in the Enduro girls. 

The crowd thinned drastically as the weather got worse and most of us huddled in the shelter. This is when I noticed a jar of pickles with only juice left. I pointed it out to Michelle and said maybe they would let her take it. She honestly looked like she'd won the pickle lottery! And that jar did not leave her hands even when accepting her awards or when Eric asked her to do some prize draws. I didn't snap a photo of it, but we were all sure that she was in heaven with a jar of pickles in one hand and the microphone in the other. 

Despite a rainy day, it was a great way to close out the season. 

Thank you Eric and Sue for and the whole 5 Peaks team for an awesome season! This girl is definitely buying a season's pass next year!
