Thanks for the marvelous posting! I quite enjoyed reading it, you will be a great author.I will always bookmark your blog and will often come back in the foreseeable
future. I want to encourage you to ultimately continue your great writing, have a nice
evening!

Toni, It was good to see you at the start yesterday, but even better to see you at the finish! Thanks for the shoutout as I crossed the line.

As you may recall, August 16th will be my 37th consecutive Falmouth, but this was only my first Beach to Beacon; What an inexcusable mistake on my part!

With an incredibly competitive field on such a fantastically beautiful course, I should have been competing in this race since its inception! I certainly hope to make it an annual stop on my personal tour from now on.

I look forward to seeing in two weeks in Falmouth. Thanks for the photos and report from beautiful Cape Elizabeth.
