25 years ago

25 years ago today (10/10/1992) On a day with temperatures in the 60s and a light drizzle I took on the ½ marathon at Hollis NH (Applefest).  I was not feeling well and was considering dropping out at 10k.  I reached the 10k in 30:15 (a lot of downhill in the first half of the race) and decided that even feeling sick I couldn’t bail after going through that quickly.  I ended up winning by four minutes and running a course record 1:06:07.  I continued right through the finish chute to a porta-john.

They've slightly altered the start finish...so I no longer have the course record.
