Chautauqua Old First Night Run

August 8th, 2009

Last Saturday I ran in the annual Chautauqua Old First Night Run.  It is a 2.7 mile run around the grounds of the Chautauqua Institution.  (My family has an cottage here that I’ve been coming to in the summer for my whole life).  I ran in this race a few times when I was growing up, but the last time was probably at least 7 years ago.

My goal for this race was 20 minutes and I got it almost exactly.  I finished in 20:06 and placed 18th in my age group, 20-29.  (If there had been a 25-29 year old age group, I would have been first!)  Full results are in the Chautauqua Daily from August 5th on page 11.
