On 3/3/13 I joined 6 other runners for the 1st Annual? running of the Rhode Island Sea to Summit Run. Mike Galoob had mentioned this concept to me a couple of months ago, but when his much anticipated Big River 1/2 Marathon was postponed because of snow, this group run was quickly assembled. Maps were emailed back and forth until finally Mike came up with the "perfect route" well...the shortest I guess.
I have always been a big fan of point to point adventure type runs, I have recently run from the Connecticut Border to the Narragansett Beach and have pieced together the NST with multiple 20-30 mile runs. When you throw in a fun group of runners the run is that much more fun, like last year's Epic Trail Run that Dave Dunham put together.
I got to the meeting spot a bit early and added on about 2.5 miles as I was looking at getting about 50 miles for the weekend, running 20 the day before. This was my first "big weekend" building up to a summer 100 miler and it went pretty well other then being a bit tired on the last couple of climbs of what would be just over 29 miles of running. To get a greater feel for the run, check out the below write-ups. It is a lot easier to post links than to write my own long story. There are even a few pictures in there! Enjoy!

Keeping you in the loop
I haven't updated the blog in a bit so I figured I would add some upcoming events on here. Since you are looking anyway...
12/15 I have planned a short trek of Rhode Island's North South Trail (NST). Some of us will be running about 20 miles and others around 10 miles. As of right now we have 6-8 people that will be joining in on the fun...updates on this will be sent out soon on the event page.
On 12/16 I will team up with a few Turtles to again take on the WTAC at the Old Mountain 5k Trail Race in Wakefield, RI. This is part of a winter trail series put on by WTAC's Mike Galoob.
As of this Tuesday, we now have a Tuesday Night Turtle Christmas Party planned for 12/21. TNT Christmas parties are always a fun time with great beer and good food.
Christmas is on a Tuesday this year, so there will no traditional run on Tuesday night, however, every Christmas morning I organize a TNT X-Mas morning run from the Sunday lot, we run 10 miles and then have some coffee and treats in the parking lot.
After that I plan on hitting the roads again and running the Hangover Classic in Bristol, RI. I have run this every year since 2008.
That is all I can think of for now! I plan to put some race results and pictures up as they happen.
