Fall Distance Festival

The weather gods were good to us. The skies got bluer and bluer as the 30K progressed. Adam, Lea and Lee ran the 18.6.

Lee ran a 9:14 pace. His phone registered 19.2 but other Garmins had it at 18.6 so his time (2:57:2) and pace are more representative of how he did. Lea and Adam started early to keep under the 3 hour limit for the course. They ran most of the race together. Adam was talking about an 11 minute pace before the race but we'll have to wait for the results to see how it all went. So ... Adam and Lea are Hartford full set, Lee's Newport full set and it's time to take it easy till October 12 / 13.

 The Start

Lea 

Our apologies to Adam O. for not have a photo of him. Somebody doesn't check his camera chip for running out of space and chief photographer, driver, food packer (the list goes on) Linda got a warning message and couldn't capture him. Next time, Adam. Promise.
