My time was 2h 0m 17s.
My average mile was 9m 11s. My average speed was 6.5 mph.
I ran miles 0-2 at 6.1 mph, 2-10 at 6.6 mph, and 10-finish at 6.8 mph.
Here are some pictures from the race.
My first goal was to finish, which I did. My second goal was to break 2 hours, which I missed by 18 seconds, ugh. Turns out my last 3 miles were my fastest, which I'm happy about. If I had just run a little faster during the first third of the race I would have broken 2 hours. Who knows though? I'm glad that I had something in the tank at the end instead of fighting to finish, especially with some of the hills on the second half of the course.
All in all I'm very happy with my results and champing at the bit to run another race. The course was beautiful and Austin is one of my favorite places to visit.
I will definitely be returning to Austin next year. Who knows, maybe a full marathon is in order? My only concern about that is that it is difficult to train for a marathon during a Chicago winter. A half is definitely doable, and by then, I plan on breaking that 2 hr mark.
