I
finished in 1:35:15, a PR by almost 5 minutes! I was 14th in my age group, 276
overall. I was very happy with that, especially since training didn't quite go
as planned. I averaged 3-4 runs per week, but I did get in some really solid
long runs which definitely improved my confidence going into the race. Conditions
were a little cold -- it was about 30 degrees with a bitter wind -- so standing
around at the start was tough, but once we got going I was fine! I went
out a little too quick, but ended up averaging 7:13 pace in the first five
miles, 7:18 pace in the next five and 7:16 in the final three. The course was
very flat, with only one uphill between miles 7 and 8, a downhill before mile
9, and a slight incline right before the finish. Overall I was pleasantly
surprised, and had a lot of fun with it!
