Flashes of Panic

This morning we ran the Wilbraham Peach Festival road race. (I took another three minutes off my post-injury five-mile mark; I am now under 6:40 pace. When I’m under 6:00 pace I’ll claim to be officially Back; this will probably happen next year sometime, if ever.)

On the way home, we heard a radio ad for the Tomato Festival in Granby, featuring the Tomato Trot (though judging from last year’s results, their claim to a 5k is dubious at best.) I got to wondering, how hard would it be to put together a full summer’s racing schedule just at various fairs, festivals, etc.? If they follow the pattern of the Peach Festival (pancake breakfast—with peaches—included with race entry,) you’d have quite a tour.
