Inaugural 13.1 Boston – June 27, 2010
Filed Under (CCFA Team Challenge Boston, Races) by Matt on 01-07-2010
Well, it all led up to this. 16 weeks of training, sometimes religiously, sometimes slacking. This was THE day I, along with the rest of the CCFA Team Challenge Team Georgia, had been training for.
The weather was amazing. The scenery was amazing. The course was safe, smoothly paved. The only problem was that it was NOT Boston. It was in Canton, MA. Close, but no cigar.
The course was quite challenging with tall and long, drawn out hills; and although they ran out of water (mostly just the cups) along the way, I was prepared with my own water bottle and had trained frequently on hills.
That’s my mini review. All in all, a GREAT weekend. Everyone I encountered on the course was friendly and Team Challenge camaraderie was out in full force.
Now, to the facts.
