Official time - 1:53:25; av. 8:40 pace
411th out of 1386 total
106 out of 537 in my age group
I. Am. Exhausted.
And sore.
But also elated.
I DID IT!!!!! I got my sub-2 half-marathon - with time to spare, no less!
It was work, though - that was one of the hilliest races I've ever run in my life. Miles 3 - 9 were just one hill after another, and it took a lot out of me, so that Miles 10 - 13 were some of the least fun miles I've ever run.
But I did it.
And I had just a teeny tiny little bit left in the tank to give a little final kick at the end, so I finished strong. And smiling.
And the rain held off, so although it was damp, I didn't get drenched.
All in all, a pretty perfect day : )
Details to come, when I've rested up a bit.
Great job on cracking the 2 hours.
