I offer my utmost thanks to my friend T___, who helped me speed train on Tuesdays, and to J___ (a.k.a. Speedy Sasquatch), who graciously invited me along on more adventurous and inspiring long runs than I ever would have taken myself. I would also like to thank the broad-shouldered man wearing the bright yellow tank top, who I used as my "wind shield" for the first 7 miles of the race. I wouldn't have PRed without any of you!
Also, while I am very proud of my 7:04 average pace and 4th place age group finish (out of 649 25-29 year-old women), I am well aware that I am not--and likely will never be--a contender for first place in this caliber of race. The woman who took first place in my age group finished almost a full ten minutes before me! Even the woman who finished one place ahead of me (3rd), was nearly two whole minutes faster. That averages out to almost 10 seconds per mile!
Nevertheless, I'm happy with my run. Here are the results:
| Race Length | Finishing Time | Average Pace | Overall Place | Gender Place | Age Group Place (F25-29) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13.1 miles | 1:32:42 | 7:04/mile | 91/5,348 | 15/3,352 | 4/649 |
