On race day I put on my green shirt, green shamrock headband and my green race number. My dad walked with me to the start where we saw even more green! There was so much excitement in the air as we lined up in streets to wait for the start...
The gun goes off and I am crossing the start...the sun has just come up and reflecting the green of the crowd. There are so many shades of green and lots of crazy outfits.
Here I am at the start in the sea of green....
The course was super flat with not much wind. As i turned the bend in Fort Story, i could see the lighthouse. What a cool sight to see while running! This was such a fun race and I will definitely run it again! There was so much excitement in Virginia Beach!
I had a great race and my legs felt great the entire 13.1 miles! I had enough to sprint down the boardwalk to the finish with a new best time! 2:17.26
After the race, the finishers got so much cool stuff! We got a medal, a t-shirt, and a hat! Inside the finisher's tent was beer and irish stew. I didn't have any stew, but you better believe I had some beer!
All dressed in green and ready to go!
