Katie ran the Charlottesville Marathon this morning. She went into this race with no goal and no expectations, other than to just feel good and get more experience. She had a history of going out too fast and then breaking down late in races, most recently at the NYC Marathon last fall. She was completely relaxed going into the race and eased into the race during the early miles. Katie was very smart about her approach and just ran by feel, which resulted in what will mostly likely be revealed as a negative split. She completely smashed her previous PR by over 20 minutes with an unofficial time of 3:27:43 and 6th in her age group!
She'll be Boston-bound next year! Next up? Her first ultra.
