``As soon as the gun went off, the rain started to come down hard, but I still wanted to put a good effort in today,’’ said Magill, 35, of Cumberland, who has returned to racing a little more seriously after devoting more time over the last several years to his two young sons, Chris Jr. and Connor, as well as his career. ``I led it pretty much from start to finish, and my (Boston Athletic Association) teammate Steve Bishop was second. We were hoping for faster times, but it was nice to have another race in downtown Providence and it was a lot of fun.’’
