I Did It!

Well, the cutoff time for the San Francisco First Half Marathon was three hours.

My official chip time was 2:59:36.  Wow.

Yes, I could have run harder the last couple miles and had a little more cushion in there, but my only goal was to be an official finisher.  AND - even though it was cutting it close to the 3-hr mark, it's still a new P.R. for me!

I'll do a real race report later this week, but thought I'd let y'all know that...
I DID IT!!!
 
The full report will have lots of pics, but I wanted to share this shot from Mile 5 - at the top of one of the major hills, and just before getting on the road deck of the Golden Gate Bridge.  This could be my new all-time favorite race pic.
