Life-sucking winds on the waterfront from KM 13 to the end.
Drank too much water and threw it up in the car on the way home (sorry for the TMI).
1:58:29 (unofficially).
(Not sure what I am doing here. I was delirious. Hubby rocked the half with a 1:36 finish! That was his goal for NEXT year.)
I saw Marci briefly in the school gymnasium before the marathon start. Hope you had a great race, girl! Back-to-back marathons... amazing.
Full report & more pics coming soon.

Wow! Tough day for a PB but you did it. I died along the water but really lost a sub two hour day in the first 20 minutes when I had to stop to address some shin pains.
Savour this one!
Fantastic! I dream of the sub 2 hour half so well done...I hope you are feeling better now!
Awesome I knew you would get a PR!! It was great seeing you today and I agree, the downhill was awesome and then wind brutal (worse than Niagara)
Congrats on a great race -- despite barfing up water afterward! And congrats to your hubby as well on an awesome race!
One day I wish to do a sub 2 hour HM.
Congratulations! Remember, throwing up is like doing sit-ups. You don't have to do any crunches for a couple days now.
Now that is a PR correct? I didn't see you acknowledge it. Congrats. The ride home activities proved you left it all out on the race course.
awesome job on the PR's to both you and Mark! That's amazing! Congrats! hope you're feeling better since the car ride!
A PR!!! WHOOOOOO HOOOOOO CONGRATS CHICA!!! AWESOME AWESOME JOB (except for the puking part. Sorry about that :-( )
Congratulations to you both.
Sorry to hear that your car ride home was eventful. Hopefully, you're feeling better.
I'm not a big fan of life-sucking wind. Way to persevere.
At least you didn't throw up on any of the volunteers. Sounds like you both ran a great race. Can't wait to read more. You husband is wicked fast!!
Congrats on two awesome PR's. That kind of speediness is worth barfing over.
Yay for the PR AND reaching your puke threshold!
You Rock!:) I thought about you this morning while I went for a walk with my mom.
Can't wait for the full report! Wish I could've been there!:)
((HUGS)) and congrats
YAAAAAy for Sub2!!!!
Congrats!! Hope that you're feeling better now!
GREAT JOB!!! Way to go!!!! Contrats!!!
The wind was so bad along the water that my iPod earphones wouldn't stay in. Great job breaking two in such conditions!
That is one speedy half marathon Marlene, great job! If you threw up at the end then for sure you ran hard!
A sub 2h half is totally amazing! Congratulations Marlene! =)
ohhhh awesome job on the sub 2 hour half!!! cant wait for the full race recap!
Congrats on the 1/2 time, we basically ran the same time in my last half. Congrats, and loved the mini-race report, you had me laughing!
Nice race! Way to break 2 hours.
Wooohoo on the unofficial time! Can't wait to find out the official time and the official race report. ;-)
GAH! Sorry I missed you on my blog :(
Congrats on a speedy half! Sub-2 is SWEET :)
Sorry about the barfing (but hey - that means you ran your a$$ off!) and the swag (or lack thereof).
