Over the Independence Day weekend, I competed in Yellowjacket Racing’s Liberty Rings virtual 15K. It was my first 15K race and I came in 1st place overall, with a time of 1:13:04!
We will race again in person sometime. I can’t wait. In the mean time, these virtual races are providing me with that extra push to not let up on my training.
In this COVID-19-filled summer of 2020, virtual races have been all the rage. The other day, I completed my 10K run through the streets of my (very hilly) neighborhood, for My Big Run 2020.
My time of 0:46:03 placed me:
| Group | # of Participants | Rank |
| US, All | 1964 | 96 |
| NY, All | 211 | 9 |
| NY, Male | 46 | 6 |
| NY, Male, 40-49 | 12 | 1 |
While not anywhere close to the same feeling as racing in person with others, it was still fun to do, and I am pleased with my results!
