I had so much angst about doing this race, and I am SO glad that I did! I just kept hearing how tough the course was and I won't lie- it was tough. But it wasn't nearly as bad as I expected.

I went with the 9:30 pace group, but I wish I had gone out faster and maybe even just skipped the pace group entirely. At mile 8, where the course leveled out a lot, I left them, but I felt like I needed to run so much faster to make up the time. My splits were all sub-9 for the second half.

So, in the end, I finished at 2:29.xx, which was a 9:11 pace. Since my only goal was simply to finish the race, I am happy.

And, I made a super secret promise to myself that if I finished successfully, I would start looking for a full. Soooo....it's time.
