It was another cold weekend - and FDR park was (cue up broken record) - cold and windy! But that didn't detract from the Taconic Road Runner's St. Patrick's Day 2 Mile and 10K races! Post-race, runners had the option to warm up with a roaring fire going in the fireplace, hot chocolate, coffee or tea, and - Captain Lawrence beer!
I ran the 2 miler - and (amazing to me) managed to sneak in just under 14 minutes! Running at a 6:59 pace for 2 miles (and it may have been a couple of seconds faster if I hadn't slowed down on the infamous hill at the end of the loop) - was reward enough for me! But it was also good enough for second AG :D Afterwards, I ran the 10k unofficially (50:40).
But when the running was done, had some COLD Captain Lawrence IPA - and warmed up in front of the fire. I had already drunk a cup of coffee between the races :O
Here are the official 2 mile race results from Taconic RR.
