Melbourne Half Marathon

On Sunday the 9th of October I ran my first half marathon (21.1km) as part of the Marathon Festival.
It was a great day for running - cold with a touch of rain at the end. It was a tough run especially the last 5kms.
My final time was 1:32:38
I finished 363rd out of 7514 runners in the half marathon
Females 20 to 39 years - I finished 45th out of 2736
