I will write a full report of this most excellent event in the next few days.
The race through Downtown Houston is the prelude to a full-on parade to start the Houston Rodeo, a three week equine extravaganza. If the aftermath of yesterdays' rain-lashed festivities is anything to go by, rose-growers in the State of Texas will have a field day; I have never seen so much horseshit in my life, and that includes watching The Premiership last season.

A swift summary for now.
Rain, and lots of it. Wind, too. What's rain without howling wind to drive it into your face? Fairly warm though, around 55 degrees (OK MLCMan, temperature is relative; it's been foul in the UK recently).

Superbly organised event; 6,400 participants in a combined 10k race, 5 k race/ walk.

Finished in 48:07.
Happy enough with that but the full story needs to be told, and will be as soon as I get a chance. For now it's hi-ho, hi-ho, and off to work I go . . .

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
