OH HELL TO THA YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

Okay.

Remember Plan A, B and C!?!?

Plan B was PERFECT.

So perfect, that I almost nailed my "guesstimated time" to a T...

...fell. short by a few seconds or so...(which is a good thing)...

Drum Roll Please!!!!!!!!!!!!

5:55:28.

A finish time arguably cooler than 5:55:55. Right?

I'll give the full extended race report with the good, the bad, and the ugly tomorrow or something (including pictures)...but I wanted to personally declare my time to all of you fabulous RBFers and announce that MY FINAL TIME STARTED WITH A FIVE!!!!!! Hell to tha YEAH!

And for good measure...here are my splits...can ya tell where I started to have foot/hip/back problems??

Mile 1: 12:03
Mile 2: 12:07
Mile 3: 12:12
Mile 4: 12:08
Mile 5: 12:06
Mile 6: 13:28
Mile 7: 13:13
Mile 8: 12:45
Mile 9: 13:05
Mile 10: 12:37
Mile 11: 12:35
Mile 12: 13:44
Mile 13: 13:24
Mile 14: 13:41
Mile 15: 13:40
Mile 16: 14:11
Mile 17: 14:06
Mile 18: 14:41
Mile 19: 15:42
Mile 20: 14:22
Mile 21: 14:40
Mile 22: 14:22
Mile 23-24: 30:51 (oops, so much for hitting the split time here)
Mile 25: 14:07
Mile 26.2: 15:37

Average Pace: 13:33

Mmmm yah...now ask how many minutes I shaved off of my Phoenix time for this rockin' new PR....go ahead...ask...

Barb, you rocked that mary, girlfriend. I was so happy that we finally got to meet, and that I was able to give you a good hug. You are truly an angel.

I'm signing up for next year for certain. Can't miss the 30th anniversary running of this race!
