Maine Coast Half Marathon - 11/8/2009

The 2009 Harvard Pilgrim Maine Coast Half Marathon
Sunday November 8th - York, Maine

All-Female Half Marathon + One Lucky Guy in York, ME.

It was an absolutely gorgeous morning, with the sun shining but cool enough to go sleeveless after the first mile. Surprising, challenging hills in the residential coastal area. A tiny expo, but I spent an hour sorting through really cool wicking headbands with clever sayings and hats with pony-tail openings by Bondi Band.

Gear:
Irish Sox hat
Pale blue Nike long sleeve wicking t-shirt
Blue/teal spaghetti strap tank
Grey Nike tights
Landreth 8
Pouch belt w/camera

Race Support:
Spotty "official" support, but amazing community support
Lots of water just brought out my families
Cheering all along the course, people at the end of driveways
Amazing food at the end: apple cider, pizza, homemade vegetable soup, naked granola, mini Luna bars
