Light House mile 1

That is the light house at mile one of the Falmouth Road Race. I have been there 4 times. When I was little my moms work use to sponsor the race. She was the banner at the one mile mark. I went with her 2 out of the three years she worked this spot. When I was in seventh grade me and my cousin ran it together. We were under trained but it was a big deal for us. The forth time I was at this light house was when my boss got me to run it again in 2001. I thought I was awesome because I did it in under 2 hours. The race runs along the shore on Cape Cod. It is always full of talent. The Kenyans warm up by running from the finish line to the start. They even have wheel chairs that lead the race. It is an amazing site! The first mile is packed and it is a wave of people winding the road. I tried to enter this race when I found out I would be in Massachusetts the weekend of the race. The registration was closed by then I couldn't afford the charity entry of $750 dollars. I gave up on running it and found my self the triathlon sprint in Lowell for the same morning. I just got the news from a friend that she has a number for me to run Falmouth. How shocking after being let down that I couldn't enter and then looking forward to the triathlon. As soon as I found out I had a number in Falmouth I knew I could give up the sprint tri for a seven mile race. The answer to my dilemma was to find another triathlon to do. That is what I did! I am even more excited about this sprint triathlon then the original. It will be September 9th in Monroe MI. I paid for my spot switched out my weekend shift and got a babysitter. This means I get to do both! Speaking of Monroe Steve you up for a triathlon? You can do it it's a short one.
