Helvetia Half Marathon

O.K. so I ran my marathon today and boy was it tough. I ran my first 4 miles 10:30 pace then came the beast; at least 5 hills one way and the same on the way back to finish 2:33. The hills knocked my time a lot. This is my 3rd half marathon and this was the hardest one yet. I enjoyed it though and will have to just work harder for the next one in September.

You did really well! Those hills can be nasty and zap your energy quick.

[B]Great Job[B] I will take that time.. I will be running my first in October.. and as far as I know.. there are no hills..lol.. good job!!!

Thanks you guys. I just looked up the results and my gun time was 2:33 and my chip time was 2:30. Part of my problem was I did the ultimate mistake of starting too fast and not pacing myself. Oh well I guess I'll learn as I do more marathons!

Congratulations! Great job, thanks for posting. I love reading race results/reports.
