It’s been a while- how about some race updates?

Posted by chrisp On May - 9 - 2010

It’s been a while.  Are you even surprised at this point?  I know, not really funny.

Let’s see… I ran the Seahawks 12K last month and had a pretty good result.

Time: 1:00:14 so I missed beating the one hour mark by 15 stupid seconds.  Sigh.

Age group – 1st of women; 9th out of both men and women
All women- 41st out of 471
Of all racers- 184th out of 883
Beat course overall average 12K time by almost 10 minutes

And then this morning I ran the Kirkland Half Marathon:

I finished in 1:53:59 which is 6 1/2 minutes off my april 2009 half marathon time and 4 minutes faster than my fastest 1/2 marathon split which was during the 2009 Portland Marathon.

310th out of 1,085
48th out of 260 women aged 30-39
114th out of all 683 women
Beat course average time by just over 20 minutes
All in all, not too shabby for a beautiful Mother’s Day morning.

    Great job! Just reading this made me tired though, hopefully someday I will be running too. ;)
