My first half-marathon was everything I hoped for - and then some.
The stats - 13.1 miles in 2:14:34, for an average 10:16 pace. Finished 1,719 out of 2,471.
To say I am thrilled is an understatement.
There will, of course, be a full report later.
Wow.
Oh, and anyone in the CT area should be sure to watch channel NBC 30 news tonight. I crossed the finish line about 10 seconds after the 1st and 2nd place marathon finishers, who were almost certainly on camera, so there's a chance you might even see me!
The funniest thing is that I was going ALL out for the final half mile - every time I looked down at my Garmin, it was registering a 7-minute mile pace - and the top two marathon finishers blew past me like I was standing still. And they had just run twice as long as I did! That is just crazy fast!
YAY!!! Your time is awesome and even better that you had fun and a great experience!!! YAY!! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!
