Just got a call from a very pumped up Mike Schab, who finished the Mardi Gras Marathon in New Orleans in 2:45:24 (he's not sure of the exact seconds)! This represents a 28-minute PR for Schabby.
He said his half marathon split was 1:21:40, so he did slow down a bit in the second half. But overall, a very strong effort from Schab, who said he thinks he placed 11th overall.
Keep in mind that it was just a little over a year ago that Schab sliced his foot open in a brutal job-related accident. So this time is great under any circumstances but even better considering that.
His old coach is very proud. Nicely done!!!
this is awesome.
