Running around Seneca Lake

On sunday I was part of a Seneca 7 relay team that ran all the way around Seneca Lake. It took our team 10:51:18 to encircle the lake. This was 22 minutes quicker than we were last year despite this year’s course being slightly longer.

This year I was runner number 6, and started the day with a 4.6 mile run of rolling hills. The second leg was 4.9 miles and was my toughest run of the day. It had no dramatic moments, but was one of the longer sections of the course and was mostly a slow and steady uphill. My final leg was only 2.5 miles but it felt like my pace was pretty consistent with what I ran the first two legs.

Overall this was a fun race to do and one that I hope to return to next year. My next race is the start of the Run Our Trails Series on tuesday.
