2012 Houston Marathon - 3:00:36 / 6:54


Net Time: 3:00:36
Pace: 6:54
Rank: 264
Age Grade: 69.17%

28th Marathon took place in Houston; a day after the Olympic Trials. This was my most consistent effort to date and redemption from 2011's fiasco. Held back a bit on the first half and ran with my team-mates solarz and kg; but overall very satisfied with a small positive split. Felt great from start to finish (maybe slowed down a bit on the last 3 miles?) and hopefully a good sign before my fourth Boston! But I have to say, I was sincerely touched by all the kind words and support before the race from my parents, friends and especially my team; CPTC. I will forever bleed orange.

That must have been awesome to be down there during the Trials. And then to run yourself the next day. I'm jealous.
