Half Marathon

OK, I did it. 13.1 miles and as far as I can tell, I did it in 2 hours and 58 minutes. I was getting a lot of messages "Weak satellite signal" as I walked so I'm not certain about the final data. I do know that I did the Bidwell 1/2 Marathon in 2002 and I did it in 168.25 minutes. This time? 178 minutes...the first time I did the Bidwell; 2001, I did it in 184 minutes. So I'm OK and on pace to be ready for a full marathon in October.

But...I was totally unprepared for the amount of perspiration I experienced. I drank two bottles of water and my shirt was soaked! I haven't experienced that before...
