Silicon Valley Half Marathon 2008 Completed - best time so far
I completed Silicon
Valley Half Marathon yesterday. Although I missed
my target
of 8 min/mile by 4 seconds but still improved my personal
best by 3 min and 8 secs. Here are my official results:
A summary of half-marathoners:
And the top 5 finishers:
And then the complete
results.
Even though the number of 1/2 marathoners were much smaller (957
instead of 6679) than my previous
marathon but I still enjoyed the run. Going through familiar
streets and neighborhood was the best part :)
Here is a short video at the start:
And another one at the finish line in Los Gatos High School:
No marathon can ever be completed without family support. All the
practice takes a significant amount of time away from family. And it's
certainly exciting when they accompany you, early in the morning, for
the actual race. Many thanks to my family for helping in my marathons
all through out these years :) Here are couple of pictures:

The massage at the end of the race by National Holistic Institute was certainly relaxing!
