It could have been worse - though I think my PW time was only about 11 minutes slower than this one. ;-)Jan Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01882825000995177531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291143103033467520.post-57554426239094505172013-09-18T09:59:12.634-03:002013-09-18T09:59:12.634-03:00Thanks, Janet.

I suppose that should have been my first clue. :-) The bling is pretty nice though. In addition to the medals, I got a couple of good technical tees and a pirate buff. All in all, I'm not too disappointed. And at least I can feel more confident about C2C. The climbs in that race only total 550m so I should be fine.

I certainly wouldn't call a 4:48 time "a long way off" a PB of 4:36. Compare yourself to your SLOWEST marathon, and I'm sure you'll feel a whole lot better about it.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364395150014197905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291143103033467520.post-61379939914402096392013-09-18T08:24:41.845-03:002013-09-18T08:24:41.845-03:00Awesome race report, Janice!

As with the nausea!!<br /><br />Wow - that's some elevation graph. Did they not claim it was a relatively flat race? Ooh, these Nova Scotians - they need to visit the Prairies to discover what flat really means ;)<br /><br />Nice bling - and congrats again on marathon #7 (holy moly)!!!Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13297537075103893956noreply@blogger.com
