I know at least three crazies who'll be running two races this Sunday. That would be Ms Wanda Hodsen and Ms Michelle Bosco. I am the third. Karen Prado'll be at Bolton. Adam Fleisher will be at Bolton. He wrote to me the other day ...
"There are 2 hills. At least that is what I have been told. (My first time running Bolton). The second hill is the one that gets everyone. Most people think there is one hill and they tackle this hill and leave very little energy for the second one. Hopefully this is helpful...Again this is what I was told."
The Collinsville race is a 7 miler, out and back. Lani Ralston is the RD. Plenty of time to scoot over to Bolton and run the 5 miler. Kathy Manizza is the RD. I have never run Bolton but know there has been a regular training run on the course for the last couple of months.
Here's Lani's write-up on the new Collinsville course.
Sunday, March 8, 10 AM, Collinsville Winter Run, 7 miles, Lani Ralston, laniralston@msn.com, 860 392-8063, Lea Crown, leacrown@gmail.com
This challenging out and back run starts from the former Collins Company Axe and Machete factory parking, winds along a hilly loop past the historic district of town, along the river, and into Avon before the turnaround. Collinsville Rails To Trails Parking Lot, Route 179 (Main Street). From Farmington take Route 4 West through Unionville, straight onto Route 179, right at stop sign, across bridge to factory on right. From Winsted take Route 44 East, right onto Route 179 South, straight at traffic light, right at stop sign, left after kayak store to factory.

Don't forget to set your clocks AHEAD Saturday night!!!! Unless you really want to show up at your race(s) an hour early :)
ReplyDeleteWell, of course I had that all wrong. It should have read "unless you really want to show up at your race(s) an hour late." I find "Daylight Savings Time" to be very confusing.
