3 months agoThanks Spence & Mike for the insight. It will certainly help me plan my training - got to do the hill work!
4 months agoAnita M D I have done this race 11 times over the years and I have found the last 10k tough. Especially the last hill that climbs out of the Bay. You definitely have to pace yourself the first 20k or you will die! on the hills. It is a great race.

5 months agoJust wondering if anyone has done this race before. I live in Maine and have signed up to do it. The course description says the last 10k is rolling hills and just wanted to know how "rolling" they are talking about so I can train for it. Welcome any and all input. Thanks.
5 months agobefore, after whatever! however, before we'd be eating healthy and after we could have beers ;P
6 months agoThat would be awesome, tough to organize though. Might be easier to meet up before instead.
