I PR'd today! The best part is that all 3 times (gun, chip, and HRM) were PRs... Personally I'm taking my own time as my PR. The chip time doesn't account for the 3 minute pit stop at Km 17...
Details:
- Gun Time: 2:13:07
- Chip Time: 2:11:38
- Polar HRM Time: 2:08:49
- Placing: 2539/3812 overall; 1196/2124 gender; 212/362 age group
Here are a couple of photos taken by Herb, our designated carpool driver/photographer/marathon clinic leader (who, unfortunately, couldn't run due to injury), which I shamelessly stole from facebook:
3km in - looking good...
Sprinting to the finish line - I was in the zone!
Herb brought us champagne and OJ to celebrate!
Race report to follow once I get some more pictures and relax a little.
Awesome time. Can't wait to hear more about it!
