The race is over and I am about to go to dinner. I have napped for three hours and feel a lot better. I started off strong and had a 2:01 half marathon, but then fell apart at mile 20. I needed more and more walk breaks and my calves started cramping. the weather was hot and sunny and humid (92% at the start of the race), but not as bad as Honolulu. that, plus water stops only every 5k, made my average pace go from 9:30 to 11:20 in those last 6 miles. I will post the GPS data later on. but first I need food. Here are the official results from the firenze marathon site. lots of calf cramps from dehydration slowed me down too. next time 2! water bottles. enjoy. btw, Florence is beautiful!!!
love,

Here are the results from my GPS watch. I forgot to stop it when I crossed the finish, so the time is a little off at the end.
