The Quahog Mile on The Level

Check out the re-cap of The Quahog Mile on Level Renner...Fast Times at the First Quahog Mile

All in all race was a success, with a few minor issues...but every race has some minor issues, usually you just don't know about them!  Check out Scott Mason's Photos...and buy one or two!

Training update for me...just plugging away, increasing the mileage.  There is just over a week until the Pineland Farm 50 Miler, which is not a goal race, rather a nice stepping stone before the Vermont 100.  With that said, I do plan running as well as possible, just in a more conservative fashion, with the main goal being to come out of there feeling good, with no interruption in training moving towards the 100.

A reminder, after tomorrow the price for the Run with the Beavers Trail Race goes up $5 so be sure to sign up soon!  This is the finale in the RI Triple Crown of Trail Racing. Be there!

2013 RI 6 Hour Ultra & Relay and Li'l Rhody Runaround

The 5th Annual RI 6 Hour was on 11/10/13 and was a great success.  It was the first year that I had over 100 runners enter the ultra and I had a record number (93) toe the line on race day!  With a near record amount of relay teams, at 23, it was by far the largest the race has been.

You can even check out a short video that was created...

The week after the 6 hour, I toed the line at the Li'l Rhody Runaround 8 Mile Trail Race.  This was the first race in the RI Triple Crown of Trail Racing.  It was also the first race since March that I was healthy enough to actually RACE.  I was excited about being able to try and actually compete after being injured in the Spring and spending all Summer getting healthy and now finally getting into shape.  I knew that I was not in tip top shape, but I knew that I would give it a go and hope for the best!

In the end, I went out too fast, struggled a little bit to get into a groove, but then was able to focus on racing and trying to catch Jonny Hammett for the last 4 miles.  I failed at catching him, but was happy enough with the outcome.  I have run this race 5 times and this was my 2nd fastest time...so that is encouraging.
