[Virtual] SeaWheeze Half Marathon (2020)

The day I registered for a couple virtual races was the same day that I found out -- officially -- I'd be working from home for the entire summer. At least.

The runners are approaching 330 klicks and 49 hours and three people are still racing.

So, I participated.
