Saturday, the 2nd day of our weekend in Sunriver, was the day of my race. I did the half marathon. The weather was cooler than it had been the year before, so I felt that would be helpful in my overall time. My goal was to try and run about an 8:30 pace and beat my time from 2 years previous. I started out feeling pretty good. I stuck to the pace, although I felt like I could run faster. As the miles ticked off, I was glad I hadn't gone out too fast. I started to get tired, but I felt like I could maintain that pace. As the race neared the end, I somehow thought I was way off pace, so I started to push myself, only to find out that I was still holding steady at about 8:30. I was worried I wouldn't beat my time. I ran as hard and as fast as I could. And when I finished, I had beat my time from a couple of minutes. I was so happy! I also ended up placing 3rd in my ago division. So at awards time I got a little recognition. Overall, I was happy with my race.
I have no pics at this time. I'll try to find some and download them later.
