Eggstravaganza 5K Preview

The 5K race which is being held this weekend is a fund-raiser for the Triad Triathlon Team and Team Erica (local MS Chapter). Right now there are not too many people pre-registered, but with a forecast for great weather I expect a lot of people to sign up the morning of the race. This year's race will be run exclusively on the greenway near Bur-Mil Park in Greensboro which is a slight change from last year's course. The change makes the course relatively flat for most of the distance and almost entirely in the shade. Normally this would be a good race for me to post a fast time (well, fast for me anyway), but I'm still a little uneasy about re-injuring my calf muscle. The last few times I've run it hasn't been a problem, so my confidence in it is getting better. Barring any setbacks between now and the race, my plan is to go full speed with the mindset that everything is fine until proven otherwise. Besides, I hate competing in a race that I can't give 100% effort.
