Bib #33799
| January 18, 2010 | Filled under Video |
My finish in the Aramco Houston Half Marathon at 2:27:30, under my goal of 2:30 with room to spare, and right at 50% compared to the other runners. It was my first half marathon, and my second race ever. It was hard but I know I could have pushed myself harder. It’s still a PR!
You can see me throw up my hands as I cross the line. I am wearing a black shirt with a white bib and black tights. I’m in the middle left. A funny thing about this video — the hoopla guy at the finish like keeps yelling my name, but my name was not on the bib. Another girl who finished right in front of me was named Brittany.
I wrote up my emotional experience for the Houston Press. I’ve basically been tweeting and bragging about it constantly. But I am going to keep gloating until the buzz wears off. So get over it.
