Boilermaker 2014

I ran the Boilermaker this weekend for the first time.  After living near Utica for 14 years, it took me going back for a reunion to finally run it.  Weather was ok, overcast +, breezy +, humid -, mid 70's -. I had hoped to run it at a 7:20 pace but finished with a 7:26 (1:09:24 chip, 1:09:54 gun).  Mile 8 is the one that killed my time.

I am not sure I will run it again unless with friends, it revalidated why I don't run races in July.

The race it self was a lot of fun, and the crowd/community support was probably the best I have seen. The post race beer was good too!
