Once again I was ready to escape the North Carolina
heat. After a couple days of
camping and a short trek on the AT, I traveled to Augusta for the race. I have enjoyed learning about small,
local projects as I searched for races, and this one was no different. The race was run as a fundraiser for
the Kennebec Rail Trail, so as it should, the half marathon ran along the
converted railroad bed with beautiful views of the Kennebec River. After leaving Augusta, the out and back
course alternated views of the river and wooded areas and small towns along the
way. It was an uneventful race,
expecting to have tired legs after 2 days of strenuous hiking, I was happy to
have the flat course and enjoyed a chance to take in the view while I ran (and
somehow managed to set a PR).6/24/2012
