(very brief) Ely Half Marathon Recap

A Runner's Ramblings: Volume 19; 3rd Edition
39.3 miles run in 2025 races
Race: Ely Half Marathon
Place: Ely, MN
Miles from home: 247 miles
Weather: 57 degrees, 93% humidity

This will be a rather short recap as I have endeavored to employ a film crew to make a short documentary about this race. Suffice it to say, just 90 days after I started running again, which was after basically 16 months of non-running due to to two separate knee surgeries (root meniscus tear which didn't work and partial knee replacement which, so far, does seem to be working!) I portaged a canoe 13.1 miles over some rather hill terrain in Ely Marathon.

Looking forward to sharing more information about the documentary but huge thank you to the film crew, Wendy Lindsay at the Ely Marathon, all the volunteers and spectators in Ely, and to Heather my co-founder at Sherpa for making this all happen!

As it stands, I was fortunate enough to power through and nab a third place overall in the canoe portage division of the half-marathon after some major technical difficulties with the canoe made it a bit more challenging than expected.
