This was my slowest half marathon ever, but considering I blew out my left calf just 5 days prior, it was FRIGGING COLD, and I couldn't feel my limbs, I'm happy with my time. I was going to be OK with 3 hours running with an injury, and squeaking by just under 2:30 by seconds feels (in a way) like a PR, even though it really isn't.
Once I'm rested and unpacked I'll post a full on trip and race report, complete with photos, or maybe not. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas? We'll see.

I'm dealing with soreness, but so glad with the way it all turned out!
AKA Alice,
I was sort of sad that we didn't run together, but I'm glad we hooked up at the expo. There's more races ahead!
Deene,
Thanks!
Katie,
Sore. I had cankles for this entire week, but it seems like I'm finally getting past it. I think it will be sore for a little while longer.
Mel,
Thanks. I hope it heals quickly! It's still sore, but getting better.

I am happy with my time! I would have been happy with 3 hours, too!
