Sir Chinmoy 1/2 Marathon

Got up at 5:30 to chow down my usual pre race breakfast of half a bagel and strawberry cream cheese, Cari zombied out of bed a little while later and we hit the road to Williamstown. This was an important race for me, I've been training hard for it, going from 40km a week up to 55km a week over 5 weeks. It was worth it, I shaved 7 minutes off my 1/2 marathon time. I crossed the finish line in 1 hour 44 minutes 26 seconds. My goal for this race was to get around 1:45, so I was very happy with my time.

Lucky number 561!

Oh yes, I broke out my lucky shark pants, the ladies love them!

Me...cold....

I sense a camera....

Who would dare do such a thing?

Oh, hey babe...

On your mark.... get set....

Go!

Where's dad? I'm hungry....

I'm still hungry and now this crazy lady wont stop taking my picture....

Home stretch! the last few hundred meters were on this beautifully soft track. It was a nice change after running 20km on concrete.

Done like dinner. The course was awesome, pretty much flat the whole time, and it was all along the water and beaches of Williamstown. the fog never lifted so it was a really nice temp to run in after you warmed up. Good times!
