The results are in....

So I finished the half marathon without walking...except up the very last hill. I just couldn't find it in me to jog that hill again (it was a double loop course so I'd already run up it once). We were almost 12 miles in and I was EXHAUSTED! Overall I'm pleased with my performance. I wish I had managed a bit faster pace, but I didn't prepare myself as well as I should have. Mainly, I didn't eat enough early in the day. Also, the course had some major flaws- insufficient lighting and a narrow trail made things treacherous and slowed it down. My finish time ended up at 2 hrs 24 min. That means I averaged an 11 min. mile. I did learn a lot though. The next one will be better. I am going to stick to shorter races for a while, but now I can say I've done it. I'll post a few pictures soon...right now I'm going to take a nap!
