falmouth road race

well the big race has come and gone and i survived. it was a tough race & i definitely did not run my best but i finished! it was a beautiful day and an amazing course, and i met some truly great people on team LRF, which made it all totally worth while. i think i would even do it again!
here's a shot of my favorite spot on the race: mile 1 hugs the shore of nobska beach and loops around nobska light in woods hole. the scenery made the race all the more enjoyable. and i can hear the scarp family gasping now but.....i think it was a prettier course than the B2B!
everyone i met from the lymphoma research foundation was great and it was nice to have the red shirt on and hears cheers of "go lymphoma!" from complete strangers all along the way. i got to see my parents, dave and foster just after mile 4 right by the beach. we slapped high fives and dave managed to only get this picture....that's me in the red tank barely picking my feet up!
here's a few more shots from the team LRF after party at the beach breeze inn.
