Guess what I learned today at my track workout? The distance for the CDC (Chicago Distance Classic) was measured incorrectly. A half-marathon is 13.1 miles, but it seems that they made everyone run and extra quarter of a mile! No wonder I was so tired. It's not the first 13 miles that kills, it's the last .35.
Just because I can, I will make some changes to my official time. Running 13.35 miles in 2 hours, 8 minutes and 42 seconds equates to a 9 minute and 38 second mile. Running an average of 9 minutes and 38 seconds per mile for the ACTUAL 13.1 miles of a half-marathon creates a new and more accurate time of 2 hours, 6 minutes and 11 seconds. Looky there, I already beat my first PR!
