Last night was the final leg of the annual Tour de Bayou series, coordinated by HARRA and Runsport. Yesterday’s course was approximately 5 miles along the Ho Chi Minh trail in Memorial Park. I think it took us 70 minutes (we were about halfway through the course before I realized I hadn’t turned on my watch. great.)

This was my first year doing the Tour de Bayou. This year’s series consisted of five races held on consecutive Tuesdays from April 4th to May 2nd. Each week was a new course location, but it seems all the courses shared certain components:

• Runing on trails
• Lots of hills
• Located along the banks of Buffalo Bayou
