ReplyDeleteWow! Fast last two miles. Good job. That first mile sounds insane.
ReplyDeleteWow, top 25% of your age group and top 1/3 of the entire race! Great job. Although I am curious about the "miniature meltdown" at the end.
ReplyDeleteYay!! Excellent job! Looking forward to reading the full recap...meltdown included :)
ReplyDeleteGreat work Alicia!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great time Alicia! Congrats.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a great race! That's an awesome time especially considering the "climb"! Running and climbing don't mix in my book.
ReplyDeleteWOOOOHOOOOO Alicia! You guys did awesome. I have a hard time breaking an 8 minute mile - that's incredible! Can't wait to read the full recap.
