Congrats!  You'll definitely beat 2:00 with proper training and lack of illness.

Congrats on the race! You were within a minute of your PB even after missing your last long runs due to illness. I say that's pretty darn good! It should definitely give you the confidence that with a consistent training build you CAN break 2:00. Go for it!

(oh...and wait, I was right about something? wait until I tell my wife about this! she'll never believe it )

First, the prize goes to Experior.   Scout also had an accurate guess, but I liked Experior's methodology was good and he was more specific.

I ran...  2:06:41 (13.2 miles)

A frustratingly 27 seconds slower than my best, BUT it makes that other 2:06 seem more reasonable and beatable.  I am sure if I had trained better for this event (and not an "addon" and being sick), I can surely PR it.

I struggled a lot in the last 5 miles and really struggled in the last 3.  They snuck in a HUGE hill around mile 11 at a bad time and it zapped everyone.  But overall this was a pretty darn fast course. 

And I learned a lesson, Yeats was right.  Pace groups suck.  The 2:05 group finished ahead of my friend who ran a 2:04.   I shouldn't have tried to keep up with them and I ran too fast too many times.

Haha!  We ran about the same time today.  I think my official time was 2:06:24.  The temps were great, but boy did the wind blow.  Right in the face!  The whole time!  Good job Biker Girl!
