On Sunday, November 7th, I ran the Women's Half Marathon here in Scottsdale and Tempe. I've been training since completing my triathlon back in October, so it felt great to cross the finish and feel that I was well-prepared.I was able to keep my training pace of 10-minute miles throughout the whole race. The shin-splints I had the week before the race, ended up being a non-issue, thank God!
I had projected my finish to be somewhere between 2:20 and 2:30, so Ted and the boys came to see me finish. Little did they know that I was heading to the finish at 2:12! They missed me at the finish (oops!) and I never could find them in the sea of 6000+ racers and their families!
When I got back to my car, which was parked about a 10 minute walk from the finish, I was able to call Ted and find out where they were:) They met me at the car and I got big congratulation hugs! Thanks, boys!You can view the results in the attached link!
