I was 9th overall in the men's division. |
You can see Audrey's name in 2nd place. |
Audrey and I ran the Pinedale Half Marathon for the 3rd year in a row on Sept. 25, 2010. This has become one of our favorite races to do in WY. They put on a good race with great free stuff and the course is beautiful, next to the Wind River Mountains (One of my favorite places on Earth). We have always had a great time in the past, and we were looking forward to another good run this year. Little did we know how great it was going to be.
The weather was perfect, and we took off at a pretty good pace with the front runners of the pack. After about 2 miles I looked at Audrey and told her that she could place for sure within the top 3 females. We have started carrying our own CamelBak Podium Chill water bottles, so I carried hers for her, so it didn't slow her down. When we hit the halfway turn around point there were 2 girls in front of Audrey. We pushed it hard coming back in and caught the second place girl. So Audrey finished in 2nd place and we both smashed our old records at the Half Marathon. Our previous fastest time was 1 hour 42 minutes, and we finished this one in 1 hour 35 minutes.
We got free massages after wards, and a free lunch. It was a great day to run.
Here's a link to the 2009 Pinedale Blog that I posted last year... notice the time difference in one year.
