NYC Half Marathon 2009

This is my first half marathon and the first race in vibram five fingers shoes. It was a great fun to run at such big race. It was hot and humid, which made race more challenging. Since I did not train properly because of the injury and did not wear five fingers long enough to develop the proper running form I decided to run about 10 minutes per mile pace. It worked out pretty well and I was able to finish race in 2:10:07 time and at 9:56 mpm pace. It is 5469th place out of 10167 participants.
Result – huge blisters, sore calves, lost at least 7 pounds of weight.
Happy!
