The race itself was a great experience, way more fun than expected. I had a few bumps during training… injuries, flu which definitely took their toll. Plus, the days leading up to the race I felt weak, the night before I wasn’t sure if I’d even make it out of bed. But come race day I felt great.
I initially wanted to finish under 2 hours, but with all the hiccups in my training, I set a more realistic goal of just finishing the race. The route was great, I felt confident and strong the whole race. The hills are easy and short so they didn’t slow me down or tire me. Being able to look out at the Pacific Ocean was great motivation. I finished with 2:09:36, When I registered I had put down an expected finish of 2:15, so, all in all, I’m quite happy my results.
The Malibu Half is a bit pricier than other local Half Marathons, but it was close and Malibu is such a special place. I’m really glad I picked this race, an absolutely great experience. I’m planning on being back in 2018 to take that sub 2.
