  • Comments: So, overall I am happy. Great day racing and set a PR for a 1/2 marathon. Next goal is to hit 1:34. Kudos goes out my wife who ran her first Half-Mary in 1:49:31.

  • Comments: I ran carrying a bottle full of gatorade so I didn't have to stop at the water stations. I still can't drink out of a cup and run at the same time. Since I did that I didn't think much about the number of drink stations, but my wife said there were few in the second half of the race when she really needed it. Speaking of my wife, I can do a little bragging that she placed 3rd in the Athena division and got her PR by about a minute finishing in 1:59:00. Way to go Jenny!!
