Nahant 30k

On Sunday, we ran the Nahant 30k (18.6 mi). It was our first time going to Nahant, and you can see the lovely scenery in the picture below. The weather was very windy, rainy, and pretty cold. We had NO IDEA how hilly this race was going to be, but WOW it was a killer. Steep hills, long hills, but a great training run. Can't wait for next year.
