I ran the US Half Marathon in SF on Nov 2nd. My first race, and the first time I have ran over 10 miles. I finished in 1:50. I am training for a full marathon in Jan. And hopefully a 70.3 Ironman in May.
Saturday Morning was the regional cross country meet and and while I was at the bottom of the pack, I still PR'd, coming in at 38:39, shaving nearly a minute off of a road 10K I did on 10/19. Assuming I don't get a wild hair and go to grad school and run XC then this was the end of my college running career.
It's lonely at the top! I raced, and won the A class race at Livermore last Saturday. Or should I say I was dead last? There were a dozen women out racing with me, but I was the only one who registered as an A.
Ask and ye shall receive. I had been praying for rain and mud all weekend, and my prayers were answered Saturday morning. I think Kevin and Bradley can attest to how fired up I was before the race.
Saturday Oct 4, Doyle Park in Santa Rosa, was the beginning of my first ever cyclocross race. I barely knew what cyclocross was until the monday before when Justin Torrellas gave Andy Bunnell and I a one hour cross clinic on dismounts and remounts. Then wed. I did a little pre-race practice at the park, then off we go on Sat.
It was cool to see Emily Thurston ride up before the race and yell out cool jerseys!
