How to stop snoring

Off road Alberta

I ran a half marathon yesterday, placed 3rd and earned 100 bucks! My time was 1:18:44. Good improvent from 2005, when I had 1:23 something.

It was a tough race. I was in 4th spot most of the time, but went up in the 2nd position with 2 kilometers to go. Then the guy behind me caught me at the top of a long hill, and then sprinted down the hill where the finish was. There was nothing I could do - his technique running down hill was much better than mine.

I ended up 4 seconds behind (2nd place was $200). If the course had been flat at the ending, I doubt he would have been able to catch me, since I was clearly pulling away on the flat parts.

All results here.
