Route 66 Half Marathon Race Report

We had no issues with packet pickup but as we left, the line was dumb long. 
And then picking up the jackets was on the opposite side of the convention center. To make sure you don't miss any of the expo vendors, I'm sure. 
They were giving away free beer!
FYI, Atlantis is the bomb.com in the Bahamas. I'll be back, next year. 
At 3 pm, I took to the stage for the bloggers forum. The moderator Cheryl asked us all questions and we took about 45 minutes sharing about our blogs. I was on periscope!
That was one of the coolest moments of the weekend! 
Then Bart Yasso took a photo of some Runhers girls. I didn't wear my shirt because I wanted to wear the Rolling Stones shirt. I thought that would make me look cool and rock n roll for the forum. 
After all that expo fun, I had to get carbed up for the race. I think I did well. I didn't sleep well because I was way too excited for the race. I prepared and trained hard. 
It was cold and the hood was necessary as we waited out turn to start. I found lots of shots along the course and I had tons of cheers from my Facebook friends. It was a blast!
This was the best when I stopped the Nike app. I ran my best time ever! The chip time was 2:45:03. That beats my other time by 3 minutes!
I did get lots of compliments on my turkey legs. The jacket is fantastic and fits me perfectly. Next year there will be another jacket. I'm pretty sure I'll run this race again.

I love all comments, questions, and positive feedback. Constructive criticism is questionable. Joking, a little. :)
