Shamrock 1/2 Marathon 2009

My first race of 2009 is the Shamrock ½ marathon in Virginia Beach. I can’t say I took my training very seriously as I only ran one day a week for the past 6 weeks. As a result, I didn’t have a stellar finish time.

My official race time was 2:31:22. It’s definitely not as good as my race time 2 years ago on the same course (2:08:35), and wasn’t even as good as my Rock n’ Roll ½ marathon time (2:29:34) last September.










It just goes to show how much more speed training affects your final time than weight.
