Melody (1:41:30) 8th in age division of 134, 72nd woman overall out of 900ish
This was a hard race! We trained well enough and felt prepared, but both of us were just dead afterward! Not sure why, the course is very similar to the AF Canyon one, mostly downhill. Yes, we enjoyed it, and were very glad we did it together. But it wasn't easy. Not that half marathons ever are, especially at the paces we were running. I was thrilled that I came in under my goal of 1:45. (Not sure that I will ever get my 2011 half PR again, I certainly wasn't shooting for it this race.) Anyway, it was fun to have my Alma Mater welcome me in. And I was very surprised at how good the Chick-Fil-A nugget samples tasted after a race. We had to eat there for dinner!
