Becca’s flight was delayed/cancelled so I flew into Birmingham by myself Friday, stayed the night in a hotel Becca had booked, and early Saturday morning, headed to Turkey Creek Nature Preserve, Pinson, Alabama, for the Darter Dash 10K.
This Nature Preserve is a beautiful place – completely clear water, very hilly (800ft elevation) – and the tough, technical course finished with us running in/on the very edge of the river. I came 3rd overall, and won a Pinson Darter fish plaque!
Becca met me at the end of the race, and had hired a car early that morning after she flew in to Birmingham. I tubed in the river to cool down post-race, then we used the rest of the weekend to explore the Selma and Montgomery Civil Rights sites. Saturday night we stayed in an Air BnB house in an interesting part of town!
