Lakefront Discovery Run 15K
The Lakefront Discovery Run is, without a doubt, the best race of the year. It draws about 1,000 runners to the Lake Michigan lakefront for an awesome 15K and 5K. For some reason, 15K seems to be my perfect racing distance, as I had perhaps my best race ever at last year’s LDR, and then topped that this year. I finished in 59:12 (6:22 pace), which was about 30 seconds better than last year’s time. That was good for 21st overall, which is a nice accomplishment for an old slow guy like me when you consider that many of the top runners in the area compete in this race.
Another great thing about this event is the post-race party at the Milwaukee Ale House. The place is packed with runners drinking free beer and watching the Badger football game….does life get any better than that….especially on a Saturday morning??? What fun!
