Molly, Congratulations! What a great performance! I'm the director of the Chilmark Road Race, a 5K, alway run on the 2nd Saturday in August. We'd love for you to take a crack at the women's record, or if even the men's record, if you feel like it. We always have a field of 1,600 runners, so a bit more crowded than the lovely course you ran in Aquinnah. First women this year was Sheridan Wilbur with a time of 18:25. Chris McNamara holds the women's course record of 17:14. First man this year was Brian Bosworth with a time of 16:21.
