Nova Scotia Half Marathon at Cape Sable Island, Barrington, NS

I  ran my first half marathon race on Cape Sable Island in Barrington, NS on July 28th.

The official time was 2:27:11 at a 6:59/km pace. I was hoping to do between 7:00-7:20 pace, so I was shocked to set a new PB as sub 7:00/km. 

The first 5k was cool and overcast which helped increase my pace. I am in the orange shirt in the photo above.

The participants were given 90-minutes, cardboard, styrofoam, duct tape, and there own creativity to create a racing boat for two.

Five teams entered in this heated competition.

Luckily everyone finished despite taking on water. -L
