  • Comments: Got a water bottle handed to me with the top still on it near the end - I was holding my hat and my glove, and could barely get the top off. (Frozen fingers too...) Other than that, it was a great race! Back again next year!

  • Comments: This is the third time I've done this race and I get a little faster each time. 2006: 1:47:45 (8:14 pace) 2007: 1:47:15 (8:12 pace) 2010: 1:47:01 (8:10 pace) My goal is to break 1:45 in the half marathon some day. But to do that I definitely need to pick a race that is not in the middle of January in St Paul minnesota :) I think I could do it in a fall half marathon where I train hard/consistently all summer.

  • Comments: Plenty of aid stations for me, but being there were only 2, I know some people had hoped for more. Nice race!

  • Comments: I'd like to try this race at its full length some time assuming the weather is decent. I was initially disappointed when they shortened the race, but I'm sure they made the right decision. I'll register again some time and it'll be great.

  • Comments: Minnesota and I must be good for eachother, b/c I was NOT expecting to feel or run this well. Maybe it's a residual effect from all those spinning classes? I don't know, but I felt great and was very happy with the results. hip hip hooray!
