Aug 31
Weather: A beautiful summer morning; 70 degrees and sunny
Goal: I honestly did not have a goal for this race.
Result: 29:32
Fans: Mike; and what a great fan he was at this race!
Review: The course was through the neighborhoods around the hospital in Falmouth. It was considerably more hilly than I imagined. It was a harder start as a result. Part of the race was on the bike path which was nice. The last push was up a steep hill which killed many runners. I was determined to run up the hill. I did and at the top Mike met me with encouragement and shouts of “push, push, run hard, finish strong!” I heard and I tried. I didn’t have a PR but I did finish strong.
Ugh Moment: The hills; I realized then that not all courses are ideal or what you expect.
