Annual Around the Bay
Ok, the alliteration may be tortured, but the run - the run was great. The lab website risks getting turned into a running blog, at this rate.
My first rematch. Last year's 30k was my first race ever, I had a blast, and I immediately knew I'd be back. A very different day; a bit warmer, beautiful sun, a harsher wind direction - you can definitely see the difference in this picture and the one I featured last year. A year of really consistent training, and I managed to beat my record by over 11 minutes, comfortably earning one of the coveted ATB gold medals for <2 h (Chip time 1:56:43). Had a fantastic time once again, and am incredibly proud of this. And... yeah, I'm doing it again next year.
