The only race in Connecticut on Easter Sunday seemed like a good time to check off Vernon, previously known to me only as the home of the legendary Rein’s Deli.

The course was a nice rails-to-trails packed dirt trail, and the race was low-key and populated with lots of dogs and their owners, and folks in Easter-themed costumes. I was a little beat from the race the day before, but had a fun time.
