From my Marathon Archives...

On this day in 2012, Wuzzam and I completed a Metacomet Marathon, with a time of 7:00:00.  

Tippi ran the first section with us, from Route 20 to Phelps Road, and back (about 10.5-miles).  

Weather report was that heating up was very possible - so the Donnalee grabbed Tippi early.  

This was my 46th marathon completed.

Our Route for the Marathon Distance.

I drove up to the event with CP, ready to tackle the challenge.  The Gulliver's really did a nice job coordinating the shuttle between points, as well as the aid stations.
