Please Note: I am behind with posting several races. Been quite
busy lately, but this is just to let you all know more IS to come for
this ever-evolving running story!!
This particular post is for the Champlain Islands Marathon in South Hero, VT -- which took place on Sunday, October 20, 2024 --
about 3 weeks ago!!
This post is completed
As was mentioned in the previous post, Donna had been giving serious thought to doing more marathons, but with a safe, longer-term plan in mind.
The weather was quite chilly at first and wind was an issue. This map (from her Strava) shows the course with Donna's very respectable finish time and pace at the bottom. She placed 1st in her division (of 1). She was taking care not to run too hard, but it's worth noting her finishing time was very close to the current Boston Marathon qualifying time for women in her age group (not considering the cut off times for entry). That time has not changed this year for 2026 entry and is 4:50:00. Her time was 4:53:17.
Some beautiful scenery
