Rockin’ and Rollin’ in America’s Finest City! Finished the Rock ‘N’ Roll San Diego 5K (Saturday) & Half Marathon (Sunday) in gloomy/humid San Diego! With the 5K finishing time of 28 minutes and 36 seconds, I placed 57th of 142 in my age group (30-34), 376th of 1,272 in the men’s division and 539th of 3,118 overall.
With an actual half marathon time of 2:27:40 and a finishing time of 2:31:25, I placed 930th of 1,189 in my age group (30-34), 5,060th of 6,850 in the men’s division and 9,121st of 14,223 overall.
This is my first time competing in both the 5K and half marathon races at the San Diego Rock ‘N’ Roll event, my longest run ever (new record at 13.43 miles), my second half marathon in California (6th overall), my fifth time earning the Remix Challenge medal, my sixth/seventh race in San Diego, my eighth/ninth race this year, my 12th/13th Rock ‘N’ Roll race and my 110th 5K race overall.
June Gloom was on full effect this weekend in San Diego! 5K took place in Balboa Park and it was an amazing but tough course with the scenery, drizzle/light rain and hills in it! Fast forward to the half marathon course, start line took place just outside of Balboa Park and ended in Downtown near Little Italy. We ran through the areas of North Park, Normal Heights, Balboa Park, Gaslamp Quarter and Little Italy. North Park and Normal Heights were definitely the toughest parts because of the rolling hills throughout the course! Thankfully, it was all downhill from there (literally)! Shoutout to all of the residents there cheering on the runners while also providing entertainment, snacks, water, juice and alcohol! 😂👏🏾 This is also my third half marathon that I didn’t cramp up! 😁 I’m getting better! I will definitely run it back next year! Until next time, The Cap is out! 😎🇺🇸
