Looking out at the beautiful snow ⛄️. Ready to get my #yoga #pilates on 😍. Some of my Spring Races have canceled, but I still need to get my training and recovery days in. I do love the soft feeling of my @nabeesocks not as tight as some of my others.

I built a beautiful carbon fiber "in-water" counter balance to train on with my students a few years back and now I finally have an excuse to buy more rope 🙌 . . Only 2ft shy of my PB in VWT but this time I felt as though I had the ability to equalize at least 1 - maybe even 2 more times - 333' here we come 👊 . .

Ocean State Marathon Review!  

Rhode Races & Events 

Rhode Master Series:  Race the Rhode and compete to be the Rhode Master 

3,4, or 5 Races in 2017 for extra swag and discounts.  This was my 3rd race of the series, so I received a boco gear running hat.

2015 was the inaugural year for the Ocean State Rhode Race, so its still new. My friends who live in Rhode Island didn't even know about it until I mentioned it to them.I was excited to get the chance to run this race, as I wanted my Rhode Master Runners hat for running 3 out of 5 races this year :) The race weekend featured the marathon, half marathon and 5k distance. The Marathon course is USATF Certified and is a Boston Marathon Qualifier, which is great for locals, since its such easy access and small. 

Coming from Massachusetts, I decided to go to packet pick up race morning. Sunday morning was a nice easy 1 hour 15 minute ride, enjoying my coffee and no traffic. I have several friends who live in the area, I stayed with them for the 2 other races, but they were out of town this weekend. This is a small race so no expo, which is fine with me. I try not to buy anymore, after running so many years, I have what I need already. 

I arrived at Narragansett Town Beach 1 hour before race, and parked right in front, very easy access. My friends and others were also surprised how easy and fast parking, bib pickup and lines to port o johns were! Love small races for this. You received a bag with some samples, maple water, bars, tech shirt and my runners hat.

Start Line: Plenty of NO LINE, Port-o-Potties. Marathon started at 7:30am, Half at 8:00am. It was a nice fast start with no chaos, and on time.

Course: Beautiful, and well marked with enthusiastic volunteers and plenty of aid. Water, Gu drink, Gu, Gu blocks, fruit and more every mile or 2.

Post Race: PIZZA , with about 5 options of toppings, They even had broccoli pizza! There was bars, fruit, water, and Maple water.

Since it was raining and windy, and I had plans in NH for dinner, I decided not to go to Whalers Pub for my free flight ( which was a very generous offer).

I highly recommend this race! The Race Management is very organized and you can follow them on IG, Twitter, and Facebook for updates. But if your not on social media much, they are very good about updating via email and their website. I loved all 3 races this year. Everything from Registration to crossing the finish line, went on without a glitch. I can't even find one area that needs improvement.
