My friends Sarah and Caroline came in from Lexington, KY for the weekend! We ran the Hudepohl 14k (8.6 mi) in downtown Cincinnati this morning. It was a gorgeous morning to run and we were really pleased with our race. We were greeted at the finish line with the sponsor's beer, which I am sure our bodies didn't appreciate post-race. Though the course was not particularly scenic, I was still able to check out some different areas of the city while running. The race was meant to be a tour of Cincinnati's breweries both past and present.
Following our race, we walked over to Oktoberfest Zinzinnati for some more beer and hearty German food (good thing we just ran!). I had been looking so forward to Oktoberfest, which is considered to be the biggest and best Oktoberfest second to that in Munich! Fountain Square was closed off every which way to allow for the weekend's event. There was a variety of German beers and German food, including bratwursts, hot pretzels, and creme puffs! Here is a picture of one of the men in charge making a toast to the crowd (check out the girl next to him in the pretzel outfit!).
