Shamrock Run (3/18/18)

Just a few weeks after Dad's death, the pre-registered Shamrock Run rolled around. We weren't really trained up for it, as we'd truly been in survival mode, but we hit the pavement anyway.

Before:

Gotta wear my tutu!

Flashback to Dad's tutu - he was the best :)

I ran the 15K - my fifth time and second time on the new course.

It's a lot of uphill at the beginning but then LOTS of downhill to the finish.

My official time is 1:27:22 - a 9:22 average. That earned me 59/292 in my age group, 452/1894 in females, and 1356/3520 overall.

My Garmin had me at 1:27:23 - a 9:21 average. But my PR from 2017 was a 9:20 average, so I JUST missed. 

Brad ran the half:

All done!

This is always a fun race - we'll be back for No. 6 next year :)
