Hospital Hill half Marathon RR. (Read 70 times)

RabbitChaser


    What: Hospital Hill half Marathon
    When: Saturday, June 1st
    Where: Kansas City, MO
    Goal: Sub-2:00
    Finishing Time: 1:53:52

    The race went very well this morning and I finished much better than I thought. I finished almost 10 minutes faster than my previous best time on this course and almost 30 minutes faster than last year. I could not have asked for a better race. If you want to view the full race report, it is located here. While this is nowhere near a PR, it is a new CR (course record) for me.

     

    Word to the wise, it is long with a lot of pictures. The text shouldn't take that long to read. :grin:

      I read your RR from your FB link but I wanted to comment here that it's awesome your progress since your issues earlier this year.  Looking forward to more from you!

      As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

        Read your full report from your link. The photos really conveyed the  sense of the race.  One question, what the heck was a spectator  near the end of mile 8 wearing a Yale sweatshirt in KC?

        Excellent job on the running and the last gear at the end of the race.

                That was not so many photos (says the guy who puts about 50 photos or more in his own race report, lol)

                  Congrats on breaking your elusive 2:00 on that course, and the pics made me feel like I was running along with you.  Good stuff.
