Half Marathon - The Short Version
The short version of today's race is that I PR'ed by about four minutes (depending on how you calculate these things and whether or not from my last PR race you take my gun time or my time less a porta-potty stop). So that rocks!! I am so excited. I felt great. The course was nice and the weather was just perfect.
My time was 1:34.37 and I won my age group, so I have a sweet medal. Our miles ranged from 7:00 (mile 1, whoops!) to about 7:22 at the slowest (mile 11). Even though I was getting slower over the duration of the race I closed with a 7:06 and felt fantastic at the finish. I am just so excited that my hard work this summer seems to be paying off. Anyway I will write a longer report tomorrow, as soon as I can figure out how to extract my splits from my watch!

A BIG PR, Barb! Congratulations! I'm thrilled for you! Your hard work especially with the cross training for triathlon seems to be making a big difference! Also, don't you ever wish to know what this would correspond to if you didn't race at elevation? Congrats again!
