LBI 18 Mile Run

On Sunday October 9th I ran The Long Straight Line, otherwise known as The LBI Commemorative 18 Mile Run.

This race is dedicated to the 11 Israeli athletes who were murdered at the 1972 Munich Olympics. It is also run in memory of those who lost their lives as a result of the September 11th terrorist attacks.

The course begins at the southern tip of the island in Holgate and finishes in Barneget Light State Park.

Summer must never end in Long Beach Island because it was hot as hell. Not a cloud in the sky and virtually no shade on the course. It made the flat and boring course even more challenging.

I took it slow and steady, but that was my game plan. I used this race as a tune up for the upcoming NYC Marathon.

My official time was 2:43:51.
