I did it! 13.1 miles in 2 hours and 14 minutes (10:08 was the final overall pace). It was a wonderful, beautiful day.

| Pre-race = cold and nervous |
 |
| We had views like this for at least half the race |
 |
| Gorgeous! |
 |
| Heading toward the finish line (pretty much the only place with any spectators) |
 |
| Finishing!!! Still smiling!! (Yes, my shirt says "Go Laura!") |
 |
| The conquering heroes (and our wonderful driver)! |

| Free food just tastes better |
It was a great experience. Beautiful course, and I felt pretty good the whole time. I could see myself doing more of these. I was surprised by how much of a difference it made to be running with so many other people (about 4,000 in the race). I love my running watch too. It gives me the ability to share these awesome gems with you:
 |
| The race course- lots of ocean! |
 |
| The elevation map- lots of hills, luckily the last mile was downhill. Otherwise I wouldn't have been smiling at the end! |

I actually think I ran that exact course when I was training for Chicago! Gorgeous. So proud of you!
ReplyDeleteHey Laura! Dalila and I ran the half too. Great job on your finish time. Unfortunately, we didn't actually cross the starting line until 8:23, the later shuttles from Newport Grand took a while. Still, a really fun day with beautiful views. Good luck on your remaining interviews!
