Meagan Nedlo Is in Sardinia, or Possibly
Scandinavia
Meagan Nedlo is sorry she
has not updated her blog recently. In light of recent events, there certainly
has been much to talk about in the national and Greater Boston running
community. And then there’s her running and the races she feels have been
sub-par.
But to the point: Meagan
Nedlo is in Sardinia, or maybe Scandinavia.
We’re not really sure
where Nedlo has gone. It is definitely, probably somewhere in Europe that
starts with an “s.”
What we do know is that on
Tuesday evening Nedlo boarded one of those big planes that requires a passport
and left on a very long flight that took all night. Upon landing in Siberia or
wherever, she discovered her international power adapter (two prongs) doesn’t
work with her laptop power cord (three prongs). So it is left to a sub-sub
librarian to document her status as best he can.
More of what we know:
Nedlo is in somewhere that could be Somalia to race a half marathon at the
behest of a certain David Monti of Race Results Weekly in an effort to further international running relations. Like a diplomat in
buns.
It also helps that
wherever she is, there is a lot of wine.
The Sub-Sub is also
reports that a certain Tyler McCandless, of Boulder, Colo., has joined Nedlo in
this tour of good will. She describes him as “an absolute doll. Nicest person
ever. He is the anti-me.”
On the roads in Saskatchewan,
Nedlo hopes to rebound from what she has previously described as
less-than-ideal recent races, which include a runner-up finish (35:33) at the
Capitol 10k in Austin, Tex., and a 17:06 at the B.A.A. 5K. However, the
pressure is all personal, as the Saskatoon race director has assured her that
he “couldn’t care less” how she runs. And then he poured her another glass of
wine.
There has been no word yet
of autographs signed or National Anthems sung. But no doubt the Sub-Sub will
post these numbers as they become available.
A final word: Don’t get
your hopes up for too many photos; it appears that Nedlo is unsure how to work
“that Instagram thing,” which she admits she is not wholly confident has been
downloaded on her phone, anyway.
But keep checking back,
and the Sub-Sub will continue to report as more information becomes available.
From Monti (@D9Monti),
Mrs. Monti, McCandless (@TrackTy), Not Tyler McCandless (@Not_TrackTy), Bob’s
Farm Fresh Eggs, and Nedlo herself (@MeaganNedlo), that’s all from St.
Sebastian.
Yours faithfully,
