Race Recap
Shamrock Shuffle 8K
Chicago, IL
March 25, 2012
41:56/8:38 pace
Overall Place 6873/34369
Women Rank 1854/19669
Difficulty: Medium
I gave this race a medium difficulty rank due to the large amount of people who run this race. The streets are super crowded so you consistently are swerving in between people to try to make the best time. However, just one hill at the end of the race so the actual course isn’t bad.
Door County Half Marathon
Door County, WI
May 5, 2012
1:56:00/8:52 pace
Overall Place 397/1362
Women Rank 158/841
Difficulty: Hard
Although this was my first half marathon the hills on this course were KILLER! I mean KILLER! The temperature was perfect for a race, but I will never forget the hill we had to accomplish to see the pirates (they have a hill that once you make it to the top people are dressed up as pirates-most importantly they have water for you).
Chicago Perfect 10 Race
Chicago, IL
November 10, 2012
1:22:15/8:14 pace
Overall Place 259
Difficulty: Easy
The course for this race is on the lake shore path downtown. There are virtually no hills and the view along the was isn’t too bad either. It was a little cooler since this was race was towards the end of the year in November, but overall a pretty easy race.
