The half marathon I ran today was windy, included 7 kms on a narrow beach and 7 more on a nasty brick road through the dunes. But I ran a PR! Big grin

Way to go! Wind definitely adds that special degree of difficulty to any race! Nothing like a PR to keep the motivation up. Great job!

Give the guy a break, zz! Big grin

I'm sure he can't think straight for all the endorphins buzzing around... Tongue

Excellent run, Bas! Congrats! You rock! modified to add: anyone else find endorphins to be a little bit of a mind-fuzzer? Big grin

Woohoo Bas! Great that you managed it under those conditions too. Smile

That's an excellent time considering that you walked a couple of times, i'm impressed. Claire xxx

Thank you! It was not my first half marathon, only the first one here. My first HM was not long ago though. I ran that in october 2004 in Amsterdam. My time was 2:09:.. so I have managed to imrpove myself since then. I'm happy about that! bas
