So I didn't do as well as I thought I was going to do but I still did great! I think that results become "final" at 5pm tonight but they are already posted, so I am sharing! My chip time was 1:42:45 (7:50 pace) which is a personal record for me! Whoop Whoop! I was 31st to finish overall, the 6th female and 1st in my age/sex group. This means that Jessica is the winner of my mug! She was only 1:58 off my actual time, good job JessY.
Tim came with so I could have some pictures to post. After the fact, I realized I looked like I am dead or dieing in all the finishing pictures.... not pretty! But it's a race... if you look pretty at the finish you weren't trying hard enough!!!! :)
This is me looking pretty at the START!
Now a much more ugly FINISH!
My second toe nail was rubbing on my middle toe.
Made a little boo-boo!
Free massage? Yes please!
This race made me realize just how much hard work I still have ahead of me! I have to be able to finish 26.2 miles... double what I did today, YIKES! I know I can and I will. It's not going to be easy but I am committed and I am loving every minute of this experience! Join me if you dare!
I forgot to turn my Garmin off at the end so the last 0.1 miles was faster than 56 seconds!
**~KRISTAL~**
Nice job...speedy!!

ReplyDeleteOk! Good job! That is awesome!! And yes, you still have to run the second half of a marathon but I foresee a sub 4 full for SURE!
ReplyDeleteAnd just for the record, I'm calling foul on Jess winning the mug. She's family. That is like illegal!
