Manchester City Marathon 2017

Posted on November 12, 2017July 18, 2019

Pam Provencher’s big triple-digit half marathon day! Way to go, Pam I was happy to have shared at least a couple of races with you. I signed up for this race when Clarence DeMar was threatening to cancel due to heat. Instead today’s race was 30 degrees at the start. Fortunately no bone-chilling wind. Hills on the front end (just enough to keep us honest) but flat rails to trail on the back end. I would characterize this as a road marathon but my usual definition of a trail is “did you fall?” And a technical trail as “did it draw blood?” By that definition this was a technical trail marathon as I tripped at mile 20 and skinned my knee. Fun fact brought to you by Erin Bliss Thompson: Manchester is a Queen City, which is defined as a city that has the largest population but is not the capital. Other Queen cities include Burlington, VT, Cincinnati, OH, Charlotte, NC, and Regina, SK.

The blood trail makes me look way cooler than just a kid with a boo boo.
Whippet rodeo. It’s a thing. Whippet good!
Ice, an uncommon hazard in South Florida races.
Beautiful. We would run across that bridge back.
100 halfs! She doesn’t look a day over 40 halfs!

The band and party for Pam. I was invited. I can only assume the error will be rectified.
