I decided to make the most of my marathon training and booked 2 halves
in July. By “making the most of my
marathon training,” I meant run as little as possible after the full and still
be able to survive the two halves.
I survived both, barely.
As a teacher, summer provides me lots of time to take road trips and see
new places without worrying about having to get back to work. I found the Jamestown race and decided
to tack it onto a trip to visit my parents in Delaware. Somehow I convinced my mom to join me
for the trip further north (she has been my most consistent travel partner over
the course of my races).
Jamestown Island is a small residential island in Narragansett Bay. The race started earlier than most,
which I soon realized was not so that we could clear the roads early, but that
it gets warm quickly that far north.
It was a quiet, pretty race through the wooded streets of the small
island.
Thankfully the warm finish of the race was followed by a quick dip in
the ice-cold ocean, lunch at a typical New England diner and a scenic road trip
back to Delaware.
