Two weeks ago I did the Jewell 5K. I'd done this in 2017, but the course was totally changed this year. Instead of being on fairly flat ground the course took us through the campus of William Jewell College. WJC is a typical midwestern, small college - very beautiful and very hilly. It was the hardest 5K I've ever done.
The race expo was really nice with lots of vendors and free goodies. The temperature at the start of the race was 25 degrees. The hills were non-stop. Logic says that what goes up must come down, but there were certainly no drastic downhills like the inclines we endured. According to my Garmin I did the equivalent of 18 flights of stairs during the race. My time was 54:22. Not what I wanted, but in the end I was just happy to get it over with. I'm not sure if I will repeat this race next year.
