Boy, I don't even know where to start...
I've been really lazy about this blog lately. So let's catch up a bit.
5K's etc...
Claddagh Pub 4-mile road race, Lawrence, MA. March 1, 2009: 44:47
Hynes Tavern 5-mile road race, Lowell, MA. March 8, 2009: 59:07
Ras na hEireann USA 5K, Somerville, MA. March 15, 2009: 35:06
B.A.A. 5K, Boston, MA. April 19, 2009: 34:42
Boston's Run To Remember, Boston, MA. May 24, 2009: 1:14:06 (Coaching another runner.)
New Charles River Run, Cambridge, MA. June 28, 2009: 35:06
Duathlons:
Black Bear Duathlon, Waterville Valley, NH. 5K run, 50K bike, 5K run. A hard race for me. I rode the Police Unity Tour (250 miles) that Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Drove home from Washington D.C. on Thursday, got in at 7:00 AM on Friday morning, napped, unpacked, repacked and drove to Waterville to race on Saturday. The first run was hard, the bike was hard, the second run was really hard. Yeah! Fun times! Time? A dismal 2:54:17 But good enough to win the Clydesdale division. (Of course I was the only entry in that division... I'm probably not supposed to mention that...) Gotta love small races!
King Pine Duathlon, Madison, NH. May 31, 2009. 2-mile-ish run, 12.5 mile bike, 5K-ish run. Should have done the tri version. That first run just kills me! Fun event though. We got to watch the kids race during lunch since their bike course went right be the BBQ! Time was a slightly less horrendous 2:03:13
Half Marathons:
Lake Placid Half Marathon, Lake Placid, NY. June 14, 2009. This was a last minute deal. I went to this event as a Team in Training coach. I got a number at the last minute and coached from the course. It was really fun just taking my time and working with the TNT runners and walkers. It's a beautiful if hilly course. I do believe that between the local race organization, the local Team in Training organization and the really inspiring pasta party, this was definitely one of my top two TNT events. All of our TNT runners and walkers finished well! My finish time reflects the amount of time I spent yakking on the course. If you must know, it was 3:14:20
Connemarathon, Clifden, County Clare, Ireland. March 22, 2009. Without a doubt, the best and most beautiful road race I've ever run. If I could never do another half, this one would keep me happy. This one will get it's own blog entry when I get to it. (Don't hold your breath.) Time? Who cares! It was an awesome (And very hilly.) race! Oh all right!! 3:03:22 (But my chip and gun time are the same so I think I was a wee bit faster than that.) I have to get some photos of the area from Mike...
Cycling stuff...
Police Unity Tour. Chesapeake, Virginia to Washington D.C. May 10-12. 250 miles. An epic. It will definitely need it's own blog entry when I get around to it. With photos!!
America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride, Lake Tahoe NV/CA, June 7, 2009. Another Team in Training event in the history books. A great team as always. The weather only cooperated on one day... June 7! I did the boat cruise/35 mile ride again. Big boat, breakfast, good coffee and good company! Time? Unknown and irrelevant!
Stay tuned!
