Robie Creek

I decided this year to take on Robie Creek. Now after the first mile and a half I will admit that I distinctly remember thinking to myself (what in the he*$ was I thinking!!)

For those of you not familiar with Boise and Robie Creek, it is advertised as the "toughest 1/2 marathon in the Northwest." It didn't disappoint. It was a lot of uphill (including a steep climb to the summit that I walked - along with almost everybody else!!)

Weather wise - it ended up being a perfect day! No rain and sunny -but not too hot. First 8.5 miles are straight uphill, followed by a crazy almost 5 miles back downhill!!

My sweet husband came to the finish line to cheer me on....I asked him if he could snap of pic of me crossing and this is what I got :)

We are going to say that I was so blazingly fast crossing the finish line that he could not capture me.

Ok not really.

My time was 2.18.57.7. I finished 1066 out of 2413. Average. I will take it. Good enough. And I'm already ready to do it again!

Who's in?!?!
