Sweet 13 5K

This race is part of a Spring Series in Iredell County.  Thirteen races take place in Statesville, Union Grove, Troutman, Mooresville, and Love Valley.  Each race is only $10 and manually timed.  Shirts are available for $15 and this year's color is light gray with the Ready. Run. Race. logo on the front and the Sweet 13 listings on the back.

This was my 4th race with MRT and thus far my best time.
 
This event was held at Mitchell Community College in Statesville NC and had it's fair share of inclines and declines.  The final half mile was up, up, and up... affecting more than one runner's overall time.
 
Once again, we owe our heartfelt gratitude to Jose!  He showed up at the 2 mile mark, after pacing another runner for a 25 min finish, and he then finished AGAIN while pushing my running buddy's baby jogger.  Jose ROCKS!!  Kudos to McLelland Racing Team for such wonderful support to the community.
