… and there we have it… the first race of 2013 is under our belts! The classic Chilly Half Marathon!
And it lived up to it’s name… it was chilly… I don’t know exactly, call it -6C with windchill… making it around -10C or so! Not the coldest one I’ve run, but not the warmest either. The main concern after a week of rain, snow, melting and cold was what the footing was going to be like… and we lucked out there, it was fine!
Not much spectacular to report except that I think most people had a good race… and fun after the race! I did the same time as in 2009, so after a year off running last year (to train for my Lake O Crossing), I’ll take that time!
Congrats to all… next stop Around the Bay 30K!!! (March 24)
PS. actually, my next stop is Miami!!! Joanne and I are doing another Half Marathon on Saturday, the Miami Half… and if things go well… I think I’ll do the Miami Trail Half Marathon the next day… 3 Half Marathons in 8 days… hey, if it’s worth doing… it’s worth over-doing!
PS. ya, it’s all about making Hugh look good! 😉
Cheers,
Rob
