And August came.... and Eliana, Ga and I flew from Houston to Providence, which is the capital of Rhode Island for Race # 8... way to go girls!!!!! and 4 more to go for Gaby, Katy and who knows.... Eliana??? 
Here is the elevation of the race, which seems a little off. I was waiting for Ga and Eliana at the finish line... I could guarantee, there was a hill at the end. The weather was perfect, around 61f, which actually helped them, especially when training in a hot and humid place like Houston. Gaby and Eliana set new PR's.
It was such a small race, compared with the other races; around 3,500 people, the route had challenged hills but at the same time they enjoyed a beautiful city, around parks, and along the Providence River.
Have a look at this video of the race route:
