2018-07-04 Bridgton Four on the Fourth Bridgton, ME 4M 31:03 7:46 220/1936 F 40-44 5 My nemesis race! Entering my new age group, I hit a new PR overall but still didn't score in the top 3; I'll need to be in my 60s to win anything here. The hills are the same, the course just as hot, the finish just as puke-worthy. This year was the 6th time I've run it.
2018-06-17 Lazy Lobster 5 Miler Wareham, MA 5M 40:24 8:05 20/155 F 40-49 1 Headed back to Wareham for one of my faves; did the 5 mile course this year. Very hot during the race, no shade on the rolling hill course. Would definitely come back for either the 5 or 10 next year. Good swag, good cheeseburger and beer post race, plus a medal and I won a trophy!
2018-05-12 Maine Coast Half Marathon Biddeford, ME 13.1M 1:50:00 8:23 256/1453 F 40-44 14/130 I haven't felt awesome during a lot of my halfs; this one I felt really good at the end for once. There's a good sized hill at mile 12 but I had held back during the other miles so it didn't feel as tough as I would've expected. Good race swag and 2 post-beer miles. Course was really nice; never explored Biddeford/Saco that much. Reasonably priced at $65 when I registered.
2018-04-14 BAA 5k Boston, MA 3.1M 23:42 7:39 1325/8670 F 35-39 40/566 An annual tradition; I go to Boston once a year for a race and it's usually this one. Love being part of marathon weekend!
2018-03-24 On the Run Half Marathon Old Orchard Beach, ME 13.1M 1:53:30 8:39 60/186 F 30-39 9/31 Legit fell apart after about mile 5. Nice race, very cheap, $32 got me a post race buffet, a medal and a pair of gloves. Shirt was extra but I didn't need one!
2018-02-24 Hyannis 10k Hyannis, MA 10K 48:36 7:49 45/363 F30-39 4/51
2017-12-17 Bill Rodgers Jingle Bell 5k Somerville, MA 5K 23:43 7:38 381/2709 F 30-39 37/100 1st time doing this one and it was a great time. Awesome finisher medal and free post-race beer. We chose to celebrate at PJ Ryan's near the parking lot on Holland Street. Great time had by all. VERY cold at the start!!
2017-12-09 Chocolate Marshmallow 5k Rehoboth, MA 5K 23:41 7:37 18/141 2nd female overall, course was a tad long (about .07). Overall a really nice race with a great downhill start! Awards were for 1st male and female overall. Finisher medals for all!
2017-11-23 Turkey Trot 4 Hope Norway, ME 4M 30:57 7:44 23/137 F 30-39 2/21 Inaugural Turkey Trot 4 Hope 4 miler in Norway, ME. There's been a definite lack of turkey trots in the Bridgton area over the past few years. Norway was good, running along Lake Pennesseewassee. We also discovered the excellent Cafe Nomad during our practice run the day before. Course was an out and back, steady uphill with cold winds off the lake. Division winners won a Sunday River ski pass, nothing for anyone lower than that :( This would be a 4 mile PR for me though, so I'll take it.
2017-11-12 Myles Standish 16.20  Plymouth, MA 16.2M 2:20:54 8:42 45/121 F 30-39 5 *Finishers include relay teams so there were less overall finishers but my place may have been better. Age groups were individual. This was hard. Less elevation if you can believe it, from the week before's race but still really hard. Lots of ups and steep downs. There was no give to the course at all. They used to do a marathon and a marathon relay here but now it's a 16.20 (get it, Pilgrims & Plymouth) race or relay. This is what we trained all summer/fall for.
2017-11-04 Moosepond Half Marathon Bridgton, ME 13.1M 1:50:51 8:27 39/175 F 30-39 6/38 I have run either the 5k or the half up at Shawnee Peak since 2013. I ran the half back in 2014 after having run 3 previous half marathons that month. This year I trained on the course. There's a lot of up - miles 4-6 are up, not steep but steady up for 2 miles. Then it's down. And then it's rolling. I am surprised I did as well as I did. I could've done better; I can always do better. :-)
2017-10-22 Gansett Half Narragansett, RI 13.1M 1:55:00 8:46 127/488 F 30-39 10/69 This one started late, at 10am and it was so hot that day. Not the norm down there. It probably would've been an enjoyable course if it had been seasonal out there. I had never run this one before, really well organized. I fell apart the 2nd half and basically walked.
2017-10-01 Smuttynose Half Marathon Hampton, NH 13.1M 1:50:39 8:26 664/4409 F 30-39 81/943 I have run this and the Hampton Half before. Nice flat course. It's a haul to get up there if you don't stay overnight. Nice lobster rolls and awesome fleece jackets!
2017-09-18 CVS Downtown 5k Providence, RI 5K 23:44 7:38 445/3061 F 0-39 71 Tough one - hot out there!
2017-07-04 Bridgton 4 on 4th Bridgton, ME 4M 32:06 8:02 300/2047 F 35-39 7/81 Definitely not my best finish at the 4 on the 4th but not my worst either. This is a tough one; lots of good competition.
2017-06-18 Lazy Lobster 10 Miler Wareham, MA 10M 1:30:10 9:01 49/101 F 30-39 7 This is one that's been on my list for awhile but I hadn't had a chance to make it down to Wareham for the race til this past weekend. There is both a 5 and 10 mile option, both complete with really nice finisher medals, post race BBQ, free ice cream, free pics with Louie the Lobster, pint glasses and other vendor swag. The 10 mile course was an all rolling hill loop while the 5 mile was a 2.5 mile out and back. I will definitely do this one again (probably the 5 mile option)!
2017-06-16 Summer Solstice Sprint Triathlon Sutton, MA 3.1M 24:54 8:02 The Bellingham Bada$$es came and conquered the Summer Solstice Sprint Tri with Val on the swim, Scott on the bike and myself on the run. A super fun Friday night event, complete with a fabulous medal and post race BBQ. The weather could've been a little nicer but it was a really great event! http://www.coolrunning.com/results/17/ma/Jun16_Summer_set2.shtml
2017-04-15 BAA 5k Boston, MA 3.1M 23:32 7:35 1342/8924 F 35-39 58/675 One of my all-time favorite races. Some year, maybe I can break 23. Nice flat course, runs over the marathon finish line. A great way to be part of marathon weekend if you aren't running the big race! This year they started the race later in the morning; I prefer the earlier start, before a lot of the marathoners pour in for the expo. It felt really crowded in the city with the later time.
2017-04-09 Fighting Seabees 5k Quonset Point, RI 3.1M 23:53 7:42 7/66 F 30-39 1
2017-03-18 Shamrock Stampede Plymouth, MA 3.1M 23:48 7:41 49/456 F 30-39 1 I won my age group! Fun race in downtown Plymouth, following the usual 5k course for races down there. Fun times after with an after party and then hanging and having lunch with Ronnie, Kim and Lissa!
2017-03-04 Irish 5k Pawtucket, RI 3.1M 24:31 7:55 71 Overall Under 39 10/722 It was absolutely frigid. Fun race though! there's a huge after party in the freezing cold armory after. Food, crafts, other products for sale, pizza for racers, a very good time!
