Keizer Iris Festival 10K



I originally registered for the half marathon, but the PF injury from 5 weeks ago is still an issue, so I changed to the 10K and walked it this morning. A very good walk! I met Bill, who's in the 85-90 age group (but doesn't look that age) and we chatted the whole way about his walking adventures. He prefers ultras to shorter races, but supports the races in the Salem area.

The weather was dry to start, the clouds were spitting on us the first half, then headwind and heavier rain on the way back. My original plan was to get off the road to take iris photos up close, but the rains we've had all week made it way too muddy to get off the road!
