many firsts...

So, this past Saturday, I was involved in a 15k running race. For me, it was an event of many firsts:
1. My first race in South America.
1. My first race in Argentina.
1. My first race at night. It was really dark. We used headlamps.
1. My first race to see and be somewhat close to flame jugglers at the start. I guess it's meant to fire you up. Ha.
1. My first top 5 finish. (I was 4th) see results
1. My first race with Argentines. It was kind of odd at the start when everyone started cheering very loudly, whistling, and pushing each other around (into me as well). Get motivated I guess, we're gonna race.
1. My first race racing in Spanish. Ha.

I enjoyed it very much, and wish they had more races on Saturdays. Nearly 90% of the races in Argentina are on Sundays.
