Phoenix Mother's Day 5k Spring Classic, Port Moody, May 11th

Conditions were near-perfect for racing, cloudy and calm and about 10 degrees. The sun came out later and warmed us up during the kids runs and awards. This is a fun but challenging course with small 'roller coaster' hills in the first and last 1.5km (paved bike path in the trees) and longer slight inclines in the middle 2km (road). Lots of draw prizes: Liz won socks and Teresa won a bottle of wine! There were 277 finishers. Alex and Maria enjoyed playing with some of the many babies present.
