Around the Bay, 30 k

Yup, this one is just boasting about myself. On Sunday, I ran my first ever race - finally putting my pandemic running to the test. This was the Hamilton Classic, Historic “Around the Bay”, whose claim to fame (among others) is being older than the Boston Marathon. I told my students - entirely honestly - that I had about a 20% chance of hitting my goal (2 h 15 min)… and somehow flew through the race, ending in 2 h 7 min 50s. I underestimated myself, the energy from the race. I also had a blast, and will be doing this again next year… and the year after that…
