Official Results of race

Sun, 11-02-2003 - 8:28am
Looks like they got my time right, despite the transponder mix-up - they changed my racing number for the results. My time was 54:31, or a pace of 10:58. On the 8K overall, I was #310 to cross the finish line out of 358; the 121st woman out of 149; and 15 out of 15 for my gender and age group (I was less than a minute behind the next lady in my age group). I even managed to get on TV briefly, standing in the background.


Here's the home page for Carolina Marathon, and click on the Results link at the top of the page. On the 8K Overall, I'm near the bottom of page 9, #310. Check out some of the times, ages and homes of participants - the oldest runner was 80! They also have a page for the half-marathon - interesting to go through.

It always amazes me to see people 20-30 years older than I am running at better time than I do.

Live With Passion!

Congratulations Linda! I did a community sponsored run/walk (I did the walking part!) last year and it was a great fun-I even placed within my age group!) I was totally amazed at the number of runners 70+ years old! I could only wish to be that fit and look that good and to be able to run at that age! Truly inspirational!

Congratulations on your race time! I think just the fact that you did it is admirable!

Way to go Linda! I'm so glad your race went well and I hope you're treating yourself to a day or two off to recover. Congratulations on a race well run!

That is great about the 8k, Linda! You did great and you should be proud of your accomplishment.


You are an inspiration to all of us.


Hugs

PS..Congrats on your car. I have a Honda CRV and it was a hard decision between the Forrester and the CRV. I like both of them because they are on a car base and safer than the SUV's on a truck base. I see we think alike with cars.
