Seaside AlleyCat race




In February I mentioned taking part in a Carnival AlleyCat Race held by the team 'local'. It was so much fun that when I heard about the Seaside AlleyCat Race the Sunday that past, I had to take part in that one too!

I must say that it was exhausting! But also exhilarating. It was much harder than the Frebuary one, this time we did 36 kilometres! And took a boat to an island. If I didn't take two big breaks in the middle, I wouldn't have made it. But I did, and I have been feeling very smug and proud of myself ever since.

For those who know Athens and would like to know this times itinerary:
Start point Athens 1st Cemetary - Mets
1st checkpoint Tom's Corner - Plaka
2nd checkpoint Nea Smyrni Park - Nea Smyrni
3rd checkpoint "Freed" Beach in Elliniko (here I took a half an hour break)
4th checkpoint Faliro Square - Paleo Faliro
5th checkpoint Ticket Office for boats to Aigina - Piraeus (here we all took a one hour break
while on the boat)
Finish point Perdika Beach - Aigina
