Now the training for this 5k was very intense. It was so intense some might not even believe that it happened.......thats because it didn't. I did not train whatsoever for this event. I just went for it. Sometimes in life you just got to jump right in unprepared and hope you don't die from an asthma attack due to your lack of training. But I survived... clearly otherwise you wouldn't be reading this right now. I was not the only unprepared runner. My friend Brittany who also ran along with Stefanie and I was not prepared either. The two asthmatics just taking the color run by storm and hoping for the best. Stefanie on the other hand who decided to be Ms. Overachiever actually trained for the run. Who does that? I don't.
They had the path of the run set up so it was one giant loop that you had to go around twice so you hit each color station a second time. (Just in case you weren't already dosed in color they threw more on you.) The second time I ran through the red color zone this lady threw some right at my face so it speckled around my mouth like I had the chicken pox. I looked like I had just eaten a giant red popsicle. Fantastic.. My friend Stefanie looked like a leprechaun with the amount of green that covered her. I think they could sense she was Irish so they just dosed her with the green. Let that Irish pride show. Potatoes!!
At the end of the run they have everyone get in a big crowd for the final color toss. For the final color toss they had everyone grab the remaining color and throw it into the air at the same time. The parking lot turns into one giant colorful cloud that hovers for about a minute. Its really cool to see all the colors fly in the air, but word to the wise do not inhale at all during this. Not a good idea. Just hold your breath and hope the cloud of color floats away. It is a wonderful sight to see though.
I will definitely do the color burst again next year. But maybe I'll actually train this time. Who knows?
Queen Diva Out.
Stay colorful,
