Race #34

So the last race of 2010 is in the books! Took a road trip to Lewes, Delaware to run race number 34. This means only 16 race for 2011, with a rate of 2 runs a month I should be all set to finish up on September 24th. Even have some wiggle room for bad weather. Yes, bad weather. The last hour of my trip home was in snow.

My trip to Delaware was a good old fashioned road trip. Six and a half hours each way with nothing but Springsteen, John Prine and empty fast food bags. The trip up was on what would have been my fathers 93rd birthday. Needless to say I had a lot of time to think about him, and it was all good.

I’ve never been out to the tidewater area or the Delmarva peninsula (took me quite a while to figure out what that stood for). Also got to drive across the Cheasapeake Bay bridge and tunnel.

THIS ENTRY WAS STARTED IN DECEMBER 2010. AS YOU CAN SEE I NEVER FINISHED IT. THE RACE WAS COLD, BEAUTIFUL AND FUN, COULDN'T ASK FOR MORE. MY TIME WASN'T HORRIBLE 31.43 BUT THE FIELD WAS SMALL SO I ENDED UP 56 OUT OF 79.
