Anybody doing this race in two weeks? I'm not officially signed up but I did my last long run today for the half-mary... just gotta register before they jack up the prices again.

My final time was ~1:31. Not sure of the official time, but I'll be sure to post it here once it's posted on the race website.

The race was ok. The weather sucked - it was cold and extremely windy. The course was fairly hilly, but I liked it better this year than last year because now a portion of the course is on a walking trail through a state park. Unfortunately the course was not organized very well - the mile marker signs were often turned the wrong way, etc. But they did a good job with aid stations, and it's never a very crowded race, which is why I like running it. Also, plenty of hotties in spandex.

Congrats! 1:31 is a great time. I'm running my first 20K tomorrow and have a target goal of 1:30, but honestly have no idea whether I will be able to pace myself properly (am afraid of going out too fast!).
