It is a 19 week series that ran from May through September on the Back Cove path (a mostly gravel/crushed stone path) in Portland, Maine.
Overall results are included in the picture for the last event. My times varied from low 17s to mid 22s depending upon the workout I was doing – I didn’t actually race every time. I usually did quarter or half mile repeats over the race course so that I would have people to chase.
I won the race a few times and was usually in the top 5. The race number in the picture was used for 16 of the 19 races. I did not race once (it was the day I got back from my honeymoon and I felt lazy) and I forgot my race bib in my truck or locker at the gym on two different occasions. Otherwise, I used the same race bib every week.
I had originally written emergency contact info on it the first week, but that rubbed off during the race and I never bothered putting it back on.
