Wanting to take advantage of the beautiful New Mexico winter, I did some more Googling after my 10K in Las Cruces and found that there was a 10K in Albuquerque the following weekend. It was the Chilly Willy race, and it certainly lived up to its name.
To reduce the amount of driving, we ended up staying at a hotel nearby the evening before. On the morning of the race, we drove over to the race start which was held in Mariposa Basin Park. I saw that you didn’t get medals for the 10K so I decided to buy one. It turns out I didn’t need to do that because I placed in my age group!
