Won the local winter grand prix series (Read 736 times)

Monomoy


    I set a goal to win my age division for the local winter grand prix race series held each winter.  We have a very competative local group of about 200 runners, and we beat each other up in the winter grand prix race series.  7 races, and you can drop your 2 worst finishes.

    On Sunday I was 3rd overall,and first in my age group to clinch my age group.  It was a very cold and snowy day for the race, and a great way to finish the series.  Now I'm going to focus on training for the Boston Marathon in April.  I've never run a marathon, but have a number through a club waiver.

    Hopefully my knees will hold out.....

      Congrats, and good luck on your marathon!

       

      There's no series around here; it would be interesting if there were.
