Fourth of July in Fairport

On the 4th of July I ran the four mile firecracker race in my own town of Fairport. I finished the course in 36:20 which is the second fastest of three times I have run this course.

The Fairport course starts with a very hilly first two miles in the blazing sun. The second half of the course flattens out a bit, and this year a sudden rain storm came in for my final mile. The rain was honestly pretty welcome and cooled off what had been a hot run.

My next race is the Run Our Trails race in Mendon Ponds on tuesday that had been postponed due to last week’s heat.
