After years and years of saying, “I should that,” and twice telling my friends I’d be there…only to bail on them, I finally did the Presque Isle Endurance Classic, and I really loved it.
To be honest, I always thought…meh, how boring…running 1-mile loops all day, but, let me tell you, it becomes addicting. Every loop after 10, I thought, OK, I’m done after this one, then I’d pass the mat and think, well, maybe just one more. I had planned to do 10 or 12, at most, and ended up doing 16 (17 if you count the first one which wasn’t counted because I forgot to cross the start mat). I had it in my head to maybe do 20, but my lower back said….um, no, we’re good with 17. I’ve learned to listen to my back.
I really enjoyed this race and definitely plan to do it again next year.
Top three (most laps) runners were:
* Patrick Reed with 62 laps (!)
* Kurt Osadchuk with 57
* Janice O’Grady with 53
There were a total of 77 runners. Complete results here.
And, here are a few photos I took (are you starting to see that I tend to be a “shy” photographer, particularly at runs when people might not love me taking photos of them sweating & gasping & such):
