CAPTION: WHAT WAS I THINKING ?
IN 2014 I DID THE 13.1, IN 2015 I UPGRADED TO THE FULL AND FOR 2016 IT IS ULTRA TIME- 50K -WHICH I THINK IS 31 ISH. FORTUNATELY THERE IS AN EARLY START SO SINCE THE RACE IS IN LATE JANUARY I HOPE THAT WOULD MEAN PERHAPS CHRISTMAS TIME.
WACO DOES HAVE SEVERAL GREAT SIGHTS.
-
THE ELIZABETH AND ROBERT BROWNING LIBRARY AT BAYLOR HAS WONDERFUL STAINED GLASS WINDOWS
-
THE DR PEPPER MUSEUM IN THE ACTUAL ORIGINAL DRUG STORE WHERE DR PEPPER WAS INVENTED
-
THE TEXAS RANGER HALL OF FAME
-
THE FINISH LINE ON THE BRIDGE OF THE MIRACLE MATCH RACE
THIS RACE IS A HOOT WITH BRAGGING RIGHTS. GO BIG OR GO HOME.
