From a week of record-pushing heat and “feels like” temps to rain and overcast, this race set itself up for discomfort. Add in the elevation profile that makes the 5-milers feel way more bad-A than the 5K-ers, and no wonder my friends were using the acronym FTH… This playlist and 100% DIY number was inspired by one of Bonner Springs’ flagship attractions, the original Sandstone Amphitheater. Thanks to setlist.fm, I could pick a favorite from some of the early seasons’ headliners. (BTW, I’ve never seen Huey Lewis live, nor any of the other acts in this list except for Def Leppard.) The last quarter mile was interesting. Just ahead of me, someone had fallen pretty hard getting to the finish, so I cosplayed as a lawyer. Get it… ambulance chaser? I think the person was OK, thankfully. Back tomorrow for Head for the Cure, with many of my friends at another race supporting our friend Scott, the Bearded Runner.
