Half Marathon

The Instep Icebreaker Indoor Half Marathon was this morning. My time was 2:00:19. This was my first organized formal race of any distance in any sport. That's about five minutes faster than my best time at the 21.1km distance in training. It was a lot of fun. And for some reason I'm really tired. The people who just can't get enough have the Gold Medal Challenge, the half marathon today followed by the full marathon tomorrow. There was also a relay marathon today, I know at least one person did that and the half and will do the full. I'm just not quite up for that... While we were running a few of the members of the US Olympic long-track speed skating team were training on the ice. All around a great event, if you are looking for a marathon or half marathon at the end of January in the Milwaukee-area, this is the event for you. The weather indoors is always perfect, about 10°C. Outside today: Cold rain and fog. Good day for an indoor event!
