Erin and I ran our first race together. We completed the annual Atlanta 4th of July tradition of the Peachtree Road Race. It was a crazy race with over 57,000 people running down Peachtree Street between Buckhead and Midtown. Our numbers were 72667 and 72666 so we ended up in the twice to last heat. We didn’t get to the starting line until an hour and 4 mins into the race. Because of the number of people in the race it attracts a lot of advertising while you race. From radio station pumping music into the streets to the local priest who sprinkled Holy Water on runners and everything in between. This provided some great entertainment during the 6 mile race. All in all this was an awesome experience. It was a lot of fun to run a race down a historic street in Atlanta and also to do a race with my little running wife!
