9K Bomenberend loop

Bomenberend is a local Groningen holiday. Sometime a couple hundred years ago Groningen was under siege by some Germans. Groningen withstood the siege and eventually the foreign invaders left on Aug. 28. This ushered in the era of the united Netherlands and the golden era of the 1600s. Ever since then Groningen celebrates this day. In more modern times, this celebration takes place as a free concert, fireworks, and a couple of races. John and I ran in the 9K loop. It was John's first running race ever, and he did pretty good. I also managed to do well despite the rain at the end.
