Pedals and Paddles Worldwide. Outdoor Trips and Race Reports. Monday, March 16, 2015. Tuireann and St Patick: Craicfest (3/15/15). No green beer (thankfully); but green beer socks! Location: Cambridge, MA. Actual Time: 18:58 (Masters' PR and 2nd Place, Masters). My favorite story about St Patrick has nothing to do with snakes. Even though I am coordinator of the SRR Grand Prix, I chose not to run the New Bedford Half Marathon. I didn't have that fire I needed for a Half - especially 5 weeks before Boston.
