Is it true that turkeys will drown looking at the sky when it rains? I’m not sure, but I almost did! It was more of a slosh than a trot in the 2008 Dana Point Turkey Trot 10K race this morning.

Val and I headed down to Dana Point early this morning under the threat of light rain, but neither of us were prepared for what was to happen shortly after the start of the 10K. The sky opened and dropped a torrent of rain for about 30 minutes. Despite the downpour, the runners seemed to be undeterred as the mens’ finishing times for the top 3 were under 30 minutes.

Val thought should she would finish around 45 minutes and unofficially she came in at around 46 minutes and did not report any real problems. I’m grateful the race wasn’t any longer than a 10K though! As soon as the race was over, we were out of there looking for some warm and dry, coffee and cocoa!

From Val, the drenched runner and MarkFu, the soggy spectator, Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
