I'll begin with a big thank you to all those friends, and fellow bloggers, who were racing or as a spectator that gave me words of encouragement during the race. Also, during the race I made it a point to thank and wave to all the volunteers, traffic patrollers, and the fans that were clapping and cheering as I went by. I think with all the words of encouragement and a sense of being thankful I was helped to have fun and run a great race.
My mile splits was an indication of the kind of rolling course it was.
Mile 1 5:45
First mile always goes fast because of excitement and adrenalin. And a good down hill helps.
Mile 2 6:26
What goes down must go up!
Mile 3 5:55
Finding my grove!
Mile 4 5:27
Feeling great!
Mile 5 6:05

Mile 9 6:15
Mile 10 6:06
Mile 11 6:19
Mile 12 6:08

Mile 13.1 6:20
Total Time 1:19:17 Average pace 6:02.8
3rd Overall!!!
Before this morning my goal time was to finish around 1:20 to 1:24 but early before the race I thought why not finish in a sub 1:20 time. That was good thinking!
Thank you Liz for the photo. And yes that is a real smile!
