Bridge Valley Challenge


Bridge Valley Race for Autism 5K Results

Today was the 3rd race in the Bucks 5K series, Bridge Valley Race for Autism, and I think they should rename the race to Bridge Valley Challenge, similar to the Chalfont Challenge that will be on June 11. For me, it is the most challenging race in the series because of the rolling hills in Furlong, PA so when you finish the race, you have a great sense of accomplishment.

So, that is exactly what I did this morning. I met the challenge and finished the race in 27:42:31 which is only 39 seconds slower than my time last year. I've run in all 3 races so far this year and I've narrowed the gap in my time differences between last year and this year from 131 seconds, to 43 seconds, and down to 39 seconds. I would say that is progress moving in the right direction.

It was a pretty dreary day for a race, however. Overcast, cold and windy but at least the rain held off until after the race was finished.

Next stop is the 10-Mile Broad Street Run in Philadelphia on Sunday, May 1!

Happy running folks!
John
