Jenn Laskowski's thoughts:

Although I would have loved to write a review of a wonderful race in the beautiful Des Moines area, writing a review of the virtual race will do too :) I did enjoy having the flexibility to pick the date I wanted in the span of Oct 16-31st to run- it was especially helpful being slightly injured to pick a day that my ankle was feeling at its best. Race management was wonderful with sending out periodic emails to remind participants of the race and how to complete it as well as submit times. I really like that the way that times were recorded were just to enter our race distance and time into a website. It made it super easy for someone like me who isn't the best with technology, lol. And since there were no winners categories or anything like that, to me it made sense to make the process as simple as possible.
Also with the race being virtual, I was able to pick a course that worked best for me. With my hurt ankle, I picked a mostly flat course to avoid hurting myself further. As disappointed as I was to be running a virtual race, I think it really worked out for the best. The community for the race was very supportive and made it a very fun experience for something that is new for everyone! I am expecting my race swag to be sent to me shortly, and I can't wait!!
