Effectively walked this entire half marathon. This was the first time I did anything close to this distance, so I am not sure I was adequately prepared. But wanted to finish, so that's what I did. It was far from pretty.

Event comments:

I love this race. This being my first HIM, I really had no idea what to expect. The logistics are complicated for the first timer, but everything was well thought out and executed. The race overall is a great race and would definitely do it again.
