Falmouth Road Race in the Fall

I have always wanted to run this race in the summer. Getting a slot in the race is nearly impossible, so when I saw this one listed I jumped right on it! Again it is limited, but I lucked out and got my application and money in on time. The process is old school running. You actually have to mail your application in with a check!! I love that part of it.

I wasn't sure where I was going to I got up early. It was freezing and flurries were flying around, but I headed to Falmouth anyway. Got there a lot quicker than I was told I would so I sat admiring the empty beach. Cold wind blowing with only two people enjoying the shoreline.

I lined up and got on the bus early. That was a mistake! I ended up standing around in the freezing cold for 2 hours at Woods Hole. I did a few warm up jogs trying to stay warm.

We started at Woods Hole and ran back to Falmouth Heights where this rocks sits. It's a very hilly run, but beautiful. Finished the 7 miles in 1:06. Just about what I was expecting! 

After the race they had chowder but I didn't par take in that and instead met up with my friend Carol who was honeymooning on the Cape. Great vista, fun race and good times.
