Bristol's Independence Half Marathon (Rhode Island)

Independence Day Half Marathon - Bristol, Rhode Island

State #37

I was fortunate to start 1 hour before everyone else. Being a slow, fat runner sometimes works in my advantage. I was able to “beat” Eric to the finished line.

The course was hiller than I expected, especially after mile 8…last 5 miles were brutal.

The rain held off and it didn’t get too hot, but it was very, very humid.

Bristol is a fun town with red, white and blue lines down the middle of the streets. And all the house were decked out for the 4th of July! A very cool experience!
