Trying to find my car which was parked somewhere – I was only vaguely familiar with the neighborhood and couldn’t remember exactly where I had parked the car in my rush to get to the start line and registration.

climbing the stairs

 

 The climb back up to the start (and the car) after walking the 5K to get to the finish.

  Good companions on the walk

 Still smiling on the walk – feeling cosy in my dragon hat (the closest I could get to a turkey)

 

 Approximately 1/3 of the way along.

 En route

I don’t seem to have a photo of the 7000 eager runners, trotters, walkers and dogs just before the start.  Another comment – it was a reasonable day for doing this caper.  I did it 4 years ago – a challenge then and a challenge this year but lots of fun and hopefully it will be a nice day next year and I can do it again.
