Well, I wanted to do it in 2 1/2 hours, but I came in at 2:08:32.
Maybe I'll do another one; one with a lot fewer "rolling hills".
Some of those "hills" screamed out for rappelling gear!
I will admit to a sense of satisfaction, though. I thought I was in way over my head. The longest race I've ever done was a 10k, and the longest casual run I've ever done was 12 miles last November.
With a flatter course, I can see sub 2 hours. Maybe this autumn.
Can anyone recommend one in the MA or NH area that tends to be relatively flat? |
upcoming races:
Greater Derry Track Club Turket Trot, Derry, NH 11/27
Amherst NH Turkey Trot 11/28 |

I won't be there tomorrow. It's my 25th consecutive Red Sox opener.
Kathy will be there. She can have my beer. |

My bad, I keep forgetting. I have a built in excuse, I am getting on in years. Have fun, in your honor we'll hold a group prayer for the Sox at Hookslide's.

| The Maine Half in early October is very flat (most of the hills come after the turnaround and only affect the marathoners). |

There is the Seacoast Half in Portsmouth, NH on Veteran's Day weekend. There are hills at the beginning (down) and the end (up), but other than that, it is relatively flat. Here's the web site: http://www.seacoasthalfmarathon.com

| I second Jay's recommendation of Seacoast 1/2. It was largely flat and it was well run. |
