Fox Cities Half Marathon

Posted by Nancy in
Comments (0) | Trackbacks (0)

I ran the Fox Cities Half Marathon in Appleton, WI on Sunday, September 23rd. This was my first competitive running race and, all in all, I think it went pretty well.

Outside of a few hills (which were overpasses) here and there, the course was mostly flat, and traveled through the cities of Appleton, Menasha and Neenah. Crowd support was fantastic - I don't think a quarter-mile went by without somebody cheering us runners on.

Here are my results:
overall place: 1442 out of 1726
division place: 145 out of 175
gender place: 785 out of 1027
time: 2:42:04
pace: 12:12
chiptime: 2:39:48
6.9mi: 1:21:14

And my splits:

And some photos and videos.

Josh chased me around the course on his bicycle. Here's his report.

I'm already making plans to run this race again. I'll incorporate hill running and weight lifting into my running regime and hopefully my legs will last past mile 11 time.
