Hoohah! I finished the Army 10 Miler, your supposed to get emotional after you finish a race, I was emotional just before the start. My husband and I had a great time, beautiful weather, and a POPB for me!
Chip Time: 1:34:52, Pace: 9:29, overall finish 9108/18857, Women Runners: 2639/8205, Age group 45-49: 215/774.
58 degrees at the start. 10 Miler is the second largest 10 miler in the world and this year 26,000 runners. The hard part was getting around people so that I could run my pace. The support along the route was awesome. The Army band played at mile 6, everything was just wonderful, plenty of water and gatoraide, I used Jack's suggestion of squeezing the top of the cup to drink, worked like a charm. The sea of people running is an amazing site. A lot of soldiers ran, some with pictures of fallen comrades on their t-shirts, there were 4 soldiers (amputees with prosthesis) from Brooke Army Medical Ctr. People lined the route, bridge overpasses, and the finish area.
I'm attaching a picture of my finishers medal, and a few of the memorials. The WWII memorial is spectacular.
