Great run! My first Half Marathon ever! I had a ton of fun and ran the entire distance (ok I know some people passed my while walking up the hill in Stanley Park) but I don't care! I ran the entire distance! I had tons of fun even after my soon to be brother in law took off on me in mile 10. Aw well! Still had fun!
What would you do differently?:

Train! I totally forogt about this race. I don't know how but I did.
Post race
Warm down:

Walking and eating at the same time!

Event comments:

Lots of food- the only thing that really sucked about this race was way too few drink stations. And at the end of th race, as you were walking to the food area, we were forced to walk down 3 steps to get to the food. Very cruel after 13 miles of running on pavement! But the rice pudding was worth the additional excrutiating pain!
