Tidewater Striders Distance Series 30k
To kick off this Tidewater Striders Distance Series 30k race report, here’s a quote from yesterday’s post: “Last year I ran a crazy 1:56:48 which I think was a PR by over 3 minutes. If I can somehow get close to the magic 2 hour mark tomorrow, I’ll be ecstatic.” Somehow I did manage to [...]
