What's a flapjack?

I ran the Flapjack 5k this morning with Jakeb. The weather was a little warm and we had to run over a levee and a bridge twice. Jakeb did a good job and won 3rd place in his age group. I may have pushed him a bit too hard the 1st mile. Read his report here … link.

The pancakes were from McDonalds and they were good. Jakeb didn't know what a flapjack was. He assumed it was some kind of fish. He asked, "Why do they call this the flapjack 5k?"

"Because they feed us pancakes", I said.

Now he knows.
