Philly Half LBRR
So the end of my 9 month season has finally come. On Sunday I ran the 1/2 marathon in 1:40.13, shattering my previous 2004 PDR record of 1:42.38. Yeah!!!!! I have to personally thank my T3 teammate, Steven Back, who paced me through the first 6 miles. It was a huge advantage for me to have someone to run behind through the crowd and he gave me some great encouragement. I still can't believe I ran 4 miles between 7:18-7:22 (2 were with him and 2 were without) and still stayed strong through the end. This victory has really been important to me. I have obviously have improved my triathlon times over the past two years, but my running has stayed stagnent since 2004 when I ran my best PDR and Broad Street. It felt AWEOME to break one of those long standing records and get back to my first love, running. My next goal is to break 21:00 in the 5k. Wish me luck!!! |

Re: Philly Half LBRR
congrats Marita. Having folks pace you really helps, but it still needed your legs and determination to do it. m |
