bringing the heat

walt disney world half marathon - day 1 of the goofy challenge

5k split - 22:57
10k split - 45:15*
15k split - 1:07:36
13.1 miles - 1:34:13

183rd overall / 30th female / 5th place ag

i was hoping for a 1:35-1:38! i am so stoked. beyond stoked. a new half-pr by 6:38! (only 4:14 left to shave off in '09) ;-) huge thanks to gu for their awesome awesome roctane and saucony for their grid type a2's.

i also got to meet denise of rundmt! she is so cute and energetic, even at 4:xx in the morning. no wonder she breaks out into song on long runs. (please don't forget to email me the pic so i can upload it!) but more on everything later when i have brain power and tons of free time from 7 days of no-running. time to rest up and eat like phelps!

*a pr, can you count it as a pr if it's during a longer race?

am run: 13.1 miles, 1:34:13 (7:11 avg pace), avg/max hr (178/188)

  4. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I was thinking about you so many times during my run this morning, thinking, yeah, that girl has probably been done for hours now, and didn't even break a sweat!

    GOOD LUCK TOMORROW, I'll be thinking about you while I shovel 8-10 inches of snow. :-)

    And yes, like Amanda, my 11 miles took longer than your half... LOL

    Have that boyfriend of yours pamper you for the next several hours!

  16. Wow!!!! I can't believe you kicked my butt by over four minutes after telling me you were hoping I'd pace you to a PR. Great job. You must have passed me early on. I started 14 seconds before you, but you passed 5K 47 seconds before me. I stayed with the 1:40 pace group until we entered Epcot, so when you passed them, you passed me.

  17. Wow! That's rockin'! I'm hoping for a sub-1:40 next month, but you're totally kicking my butt. You must be doing something right.

    Congratulations!

  19. Hey --- I just realized you just got guaranteed entry to NYCM if you want it with that half time... incredible!

    I can't believe you had such a strong PR! I've only manage to shave less than a minute off my half time since 02!!
