2:01:32, a PR by over 13 min. The course was crazy hilly (and a little short according to my Garmin, but who is counting), which made me push harder on the downhills because I new I had to go back up eventually.
My DH was awesome and ran most of the course to see me a total of 4 times. I know he wanted to be out there racing, but this was a female only event.
Btw, Joan Benoit Samuelson ran an unofficial time of 1:25:39 at 54, amazing!
Re: Aw: Half Marathon PR
Nice job!! Even better on a hilly course. We got perfect weather today.

I PRd too! My goodness that course was hilly! We couldn't have asked for better weather though. I think it was well done for an inaugural race, I really enjoyed it.
That's crazy about Joan's time, she's amazing! Did you get to see her? I didn't
Congrats on your huge PR!
I was pretty surprised at how well the race was organized. My only complaint was it was so far outside of the city. We actually got a hotel room (yay, free marriott nights) the night before so we didn't have to drive 4 hrs between packet pickup and the race.
I didn't get to meet Joan either
Congrats on your PR too!
I stayed with a friend who literally lives 5 minutes from the start, that was pretty sweet
Just out of curiosity, how short was the race according to your Garmin?
