Big Sur-passed!!

Well, better late than never!

Just a quick note to say that I passed the Big Sur test and almost met my goal (4:30). I finished in 4 hours 32 min 31 seconds (10:24 pace) - a new PR (Personal Record) beating my 4:39:13 at Silicon Valley last year and on a much tougher course!

Despite ITB issues on the left leg, a hot day (over 80F towards the end), and the never-ending hills and banked roads, I am glad to report that I finished strong. It was a very well organized race and a beautiful and scenic course, and I will definitely try and do it again soon.

Am now signed up for the Team ASHA 2008 program and am slowly building up and recovering from the ITB injury and am targeting the Portland marathon in October.
