Hell's Half Acre Marathon
I decided to run the Hell's Half Acre Marathon outside of Fort Worth. Temps in the state had been very hot so I was a bit worried....possibly triple digits. I believe race day did get into the 90's but not, as the name implied, hell. The route was along a river/water way. It consisted of loops back and forth. I wasn't sure what to expect, but ended up finishing with a 5:41:46. Believe it or not, that got me an age group place (thankfully most old folks are wiser than me .... so they didn't run). The race shirt was a tank top. I liked it and offered to buy a second one, but the RD just gave it to me. I wore it in a couple future races (such as Alamo Marathon under my full jeans/hat/denim shirt/belt outfit).
