3M Half Marathon

3M Half MarathonAustin, TX - 01.13.13
Half Marathon #1 - Done!!

First half marathon done! - the 3M half marathon is famous for been the fastest Half Marathon in Austin. The course is pretty much downhill with a few hills towards the of it.  The course itself was awesome - super fast pace and easy to follow. What i encounter was that because it was all downhill, the few uphills that we had were THAT much harder! 

The race started at 6:50 am, with a heavy wind and a temperature of 40 degrees. Now if you ask me, this was way!! to cold to start a run, but! Thanks to the Austin Front Runners, we all manage to stay warm by huddling with each other.  The gloves, capri thermo tights  arm warmers and the long sleeve shirt helped a lot!!! 

 

Results: 

This was by far the fastest half marathon with a time of 1:42:12 !! I was able to shave off 4 minutes from the 2012 3M race. At the end of it - we headed out to Juan In  Million for a well deserved breakfast!! .. and the races continue!
