Jess and I ran our 4th and 14th Marathons this past weekend in Falmouth, Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It was absolutely beautiful weather the whole weekend and the town of Falmouth shows obvious reasons why the housing market has tripled over the last couple decades. Town square and main street reminded us of upscale Wellesley and the small town feel with a 10 minute walk to the beach made us wish we weren't preparing to run 26.2 miles.
Leaving Colorado we thought about how nice it would be to run at Sea Level and on the flat shoreline. To our surprise, we both found the 2nd half of the course to be very trying and awfully slow! After a quicker flatter first half the course passes through cranberry bogs and into constantly rolling hills, some of which are quite steep. We were both begging for our return to the shoreline and were happy to see the lighthouse and downtown.
Overall it was a gorgeous course, albeit sometimes frustrating since it was open to traffic, but our favorite part was the clam chowder at the finish. Can't go to New England without partaking in Dunkin' Donuts and Clam Chowder!
