Doha College 10K Run

On November 18, I participated in a 10K race at The Pearl in Doha.  It was organized by Doha College, our next door neighbor.  Doha College is very similar to ASD, but it follows the UK schooling and curriculum.  It was a wonderful day to share with some great people from work!  I was rather shocked and a bit proud of my performance for the day.  I won my first road race.  I beat all 117 women and ended up placing 12th overall.  There were 258 participates.  In the end, I beat more men than women and I was also the first American to cross the finish line.  I guess these "old" running legs still have some spark from time to time... 

Crossing the finish line!

Coming up to the finish line.

Getting closer and quite tired...

Ok...maybe not that tired... ;)

ASD was well represented.  Tara (in the red shirt) finished her first race!

It ended up being very foggy for the end of the race.  It was nice to be able to escape the sun.

The entire ASD crew!

Receiving my plaque!

First time shaking the hand of a man in a thobe.

I really don't like being in front of a lot of people.  I was a bit nervous.

Smile for the camera!
