Postcards from the Canberra Half

A photo timeline of the race, which took place in Canberra, the capital of Australia (I know, whaat?) in ACT, Australian Capital Territory, which is a little patch of land within another state, New South Wales (where Sydney is located).

Enjoy!

A creatively assembled dinner: fettuccine with chicken tenders, bolognese sauce, and garlic bread - with Liquid IV

Spectators cheering the marathon (which started earlier in the day) - kind of a sad group

At the starting line

Thanks Race Atlas! The race felt surprisingly easy on the body, despite having a couple of hard weeks

Gritting - and sprinting - through the last 200m (at 6:30min mile pace!)

hell yeah!

Triumph

Proud of my effort

Obligatory finish line photo! And big smiles after finding out my time

My stuff was exactly where I left it before the race - classic Australia

Of course I wore my medal on the bus ride back to Sydney (and knitted along the way).
