Howdy! Time for a race recap. I have to be brief because I have a microbiology exam in a few hours. EEK.
The race was on Saturday at 8:30 a.m. and it was about 40* outside. Brrr. The elevation and hills were crazy! (You can see the elevation chart on the race logo above.)
I did the 10 mile race with my boyfriend’s uncle and my little sister did the 5k.
Hannah is rubbing her face and I am looking to the left. Cute.
I over dressed way too much! I was so hot by the 3 mile mark that I took off my gloves, ear warmer, and unzipped my jacket. You live and learn.
Because the race was not even a mile from the Pittsburgh Airport, I had fun watching planes land and take off the whole time! I also listened to people talking because I was by myself for most of the race.
Hannah finished the 5k and got 3rd in her age group. WOOOOT!
After surfacing from a giant hill, I finished and placed 1st in my age group (4th woman overall) for the 10- miler.
Distance= 10 miles Chip time= 1:20:48 Pace= 8:05
My GPS distance= 10.21 miles time= 1:20:50 Pace= 7:55
*****
I will admit that when I signed up for the race I was mostly excited to learn that warm apple crisp would be served afterwards. SCORE.
Jimmy came to watch and cheer us on as well… thank you Jimmy ❤

Great race! that elevation looks crazy. Hope the warm apple crisp helped to get your warm 🙂
Thanks, Cait.. the elevation was INSANE!
CONGRATS! And heck, I might start showing up at races if they give me apple crisp 😀
Running the 10 miles was well worth the apple crisp 😉
Great job to you and your little sister!! What an awesome accomplishment.
Also, good luck on that micro exam!
HAHA. I love that photo of you and Jimmy! So funny.
Nice time 1:20 is awesome! Great job to you and your sis. 🙂
Good job to you and Hannah! That is an awesome pace! Kudos to you for running that fast in the cold. I have such a hard time in cold air!
I hate running in the cold too! I guess since I live in PA I best get used to it 😉
OMG you are speeeeeeedy!!!
Good luck on the test!
Very nice race, and congrats to your sister as well!! I’d be all over the post race apple crisp. Who needs granola bars?!
Apple crisp has to be the best idea for a fall run post-race snack! Seriously, that’s so clever! That’s an awesome time! You go girl!
congrats on your race, first in your age group is awesome!! yummm warm apple crisp:)
You are impressive! Nicely done! And I love your shirt in the pic with Jimmy!!
Aww, thank you! I got the shirt at Marshall’s for $16.99 ! Woo!
Overdressing is sooooo easy to do. It doesn’t take long to warm up! Great race, allie! Thats a good 10 mile time and fantastic placement on a tough course!!
best wishes on your exam….not coveting that AT ALL.
