The Hospital Hill Half Marathon was settled by a photo finish in the men's division...me and Bubba finished and our picture was taken...oh yeah, the front runners had a real photo finish with the top guy finishing the race by a step (imagine being beaten by a step after going 13.1 miles?).
Our trek wasn't about winning, just finishing in one piece...which we did. It was warmer in the end than we would like, but that is racing, you deal with the conditions on race day. My long distance running days are coming to a close so this one was special. Our training course for the race was our "around the lake" course, great prep for the real deal. Bubba did that and more on occasion...bless his heart (and legs).
Speed kills, at least that is our motto, so we finished in 2:45...a time that pleased us both considering conditions and training.
