So, after all the angst about the race, how did I do?
Goal #1: Finish.
I finished. Got the t-shrit and hat to prove it. Chalk one up for me.
Goal #2: Run 30 minutes continuously.
Didn’t happen. My longest continuous run was 28.44.
Goal #3: Run at least 3.1 miles total during the race.
This one I managed. (Because I was smart enough to not commit to 3.1 continuous miles…) I ran 4.91 miles or just under 80% of the race.
My Garmin — the Official Timekeeper of KBT’s Race — says I finished in 1:29:21. This, for anyone keeping score at home, means I shaved a whopping one minute off my Peachtree Road Race time back in July.
Back before I started running.
However, have I mentioned how hilly this course is? My non-running 1.4 miles were on the worst of the hills, but there were others. Oh yes, there were others.
I do believe, however, that had I been doing the Peachtree course again now, I would have shaved at least two minutes off my time.
