Getting Pumped for the Mini!!

Feeling pretty good about my preparations for this year's Mini. Early forecasts show a cooler day with a chance of showers- not bad but hoping the rain holds off. I am a walker so I am in the Z Corral/Last Wave. Maybe this staggered start will cut down on the congestion of the first couple of miles.

Current PR is 3:14; have set a lofty goal of breaking 3 hours but in reality if I come in at 3:10 or better I will be quite satisfied!!

What are your goals/expectations for the race? Does anyone want to do a quick meet-up before/after the race? And to you runners, don't drink all the beer before I get there LOL

    There's beer? Hmmm... I might definitely have to try it next year... :)

    One Freebie after the race. Not sure if they sell additional rounds or not.

    So, how did it go? Weather was pretty much perfect for the event. I could see all the runners/ walkers from my porch,which made me wish I participated. Definitely signing up for next year

    I am very happy with my results. Finished in 2:56:29, a new personal record for me by almost 18 minutes! Going to work on more of the jog/run portion of my walk/jog/run for future events :) It is a fun event, love hearing all the music along the route.

    The mini was my first half. What a great time. Lots of entertainment. Good crowd support. I really liked the wave start too. I was shooting for a 2:10 and got a 2:06 so I'm VERY pleased!
