Race stats

Races by location

You know I love stats!  My race in Lowell this past weekend was the 76^th time I’ve raced in the “Mill City” (Lowell was America’s first planned industrial city).  This far and away leads my list of races by location.  I’ve listed the top 11 below and it is pretty obvious there is a bias towards Merrimack Valley locales.  Not surprising since I grew up in Billerica, went to college in Lowell (and lived there for a bunch of years) and settled in Haverhill.  I’m not saying that racing is better in the Merrimack Valley, but…
