Improved My Time

Just be relaxing my sore leg these last two weeks, with no effort or training on my part, my time in the 1/2 marathon improved by several minutes:

updated results

Yep. I went from 3:15:40 to 3:08:51! According to the email I just got:

A few of you experienced a delay with your half marathon results due to
some unprecedented power surges in the half marathon finish area. After
careful review of video footage from the half marathon finish, the results
are complete

So my time was almost 7 minutes less horrible than I thought (and this more closely matches my own watch), yet my rank has slipped dramatically from 16337th to 16560th! Oh well. Lost in the crowd.

My left leg has been more sore than it ought to be, it is now an ongoing soreness in the top shin and almost into the knee, and I’ve been limping noticeably. It has lessened slightly the nxt few days, but if it does not let up soon, I might need an MRI.

    I’m not sure whether congratulations or condolences are appropriate, Alan.
    I will go with the more positive perspective and congratulate you on your achievement. Hope you have more news on your injury, and that it’s good news.
