2009 Colfax Half Marathon Race Results

For those who haven’t already seen me prattle endlessly about this over at Twitter, here are my race results from yesterday’s Colfax Half Marathon:

• Time: 1:56:12 (net)
• Overall Place: 534/2294
• Gender Place: 204/1448
• Division Place: 26/300 (F 40-49)

You may or may not recall from my previous post about my goals for Colfax that I wanted to:

1. Run a negative-split or even-split race
2. Set a course PR (beat last year’s 1:59:19 finish)
3. Finish in under 1:55

I’m happy to claim that I met goals #1 and #2, and was not all that far from also meeting goal #3. I say ‘claim’ only because there were no split times given for the half-marathon (although they did have them for the marathon, which is run mostly on a different route). However, according to may Garmin, I was running at about an 8:53 pace through mile 7, and my final time puts me at about an 8:52 overall pace.

I had a brief moment of hope after the race that I had actually also met goal #3, because my Garmin time was under 1:55. However, after thinking about it, I heard my Garmin lose signal a few times in the last several miles, which I think explains the time discrepancy between it and my official net time.

In any case, my time was a full 3 minutes better than I ran at last year’s race, so I’m pleased about that.

Next up: an attempt at the Tweet 5K.
