Comments:

Well conisering it has been awhile since I ran 13.2 miles I was happy! I made my goals of finishing in 3 hrs or less and with a smile on my face. This is my 4 half marathon and of all that I have completed this was one with the most inclines and a hill. STILL it does not come close to the mt evans elevation run in Denver CO that I tried a few years ago that run I was a DNF. Doing this half marathon I am 20 lbs heavier than when I did my other runs. Legs are still pretty strong. I walked a little on this one and the last mile was ran in honor of my mother who has very bad lungs and a weak heart. I saw the finish line and gave it all I had an knew this one was for MOM.
What would you do differently?:

Train better and loose the extra 20 lbs!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

not training as much and the extra weight

Event comments:
