13.1

Why indeed - 13.1 miles. It always seems like a long way when you are in the starting area. This time, it didn't seem so far.

Under trained is always a better place to start than being over trained. This year was a "PR" (personal record) with respect to "under training" for several of us who toed the line. It turned out that the weather was perfect and our times reflect that more than the preparation.

13.1 miles in 2:18:39 for an average pace of 10:36/mile. Overall finish was 15,226 out of 30,196 (50.4%). Overall place for all women was 5,833 out of 15,868 (36.8%). Place in my division ("old broads" 60-64) was 25 out of 328 (7.6%). It was a great day!
