Race day weather was perfect, not too hot or cold. Leading up to race day, I was not sure what the weather was going to be. They had predicted rain, of course! I was pleasantly surprised and was ready to have a great race, when I saw the sun peak through the clouds. It ended up not raining at all, for the entire event. A perfect race day!
Next it was time to warm up. The great thing about this event, is they lead everyone on pre-run stretching. All participants took some pre-race photos and we all lined up. Once warmed up, we were off!
Once at the finish line, we were handed our beer token, in exchange for our bib raffle ticket and some OR Brewery Running Series Swag. And headed to get our post race beverage. I don’t know if it was the fact, that I was looking forward to the beer the entire race, or the deliciousness of the beer, but those guys at Lompoc sure know what they are doing! We also had some grilled cheese sandwiches from the guys at Franz. We also got a loaf of Franz bread, a vegan cookie from Laughing Planet, and a box of granola bars from KIND. Definitely hitting the jackpot with free swag.
