Mill Creek Half Marathon

Place: 6th AG, 47/222 OA

Time: 1:44.45

This is a very scenic, challenging, hilly course in Youngstown.  Did I mention hilly?  19 hills over the 13.2 miles to be exact!  This year, the 2 in of fresh snow and temps at 17 degrees added an interesting dimension to the downhills and the water (ice cubes/slushy) stops.  Staying upright on my feet was a task in itself.  The race felt like it should have been an Alpine event at the Winter Olympics.   This race was an enjoyable experience and hopefully will help prepare me for the hills in Boston.
