This was a tough race. Every year I tell myself I'm just going to run to enjoy the scenery and every year I run as fast as I can. It hurts at the end and I ask myself why I do it.
The weather was great. The start was horrible. Just too many people and I should have started closer to the start. Their clock had me two minutes slower than my Garmin. I posted my Garmin time instead of their time.
Avg mile pace was 8:00 min
333rd of 1767 runners
124th of 1156 women
16th or 193 for my age group.
For my level of training and the my horrible cold I had for the 10 days prior to the race, I'm very pleased w/ my time. I would love to get 1:40 next year.
It did make me question why I signed up for a marathon. I must be insane!!! |
