Official Results: I just ran out to get the morning paper and check the results. I finished in 156:59, which is just shy of two hours and 37 minutes. (As Allan mentioned in the comments below, that means I averaged a twelve minute per mile pace for the whole thing.) I placed 5979th out of 6032 finishers… which means I was in the bottom 1%. But you know what? This race was marketed as Australia’s “most prestigious restricted entry running event,” and I was in the company of serious runners. I’m just happy to have been out there with them.
