3:33:39 Official (3:33:31 Unofficial)

Maybe I'm not over the moon, but definitely within its orbit.

I was hoping the official time comes back at 2 seconds slower - 3:33:33 - that would've been easy to remember.

Full race report to follow soon. All I'll say now is these were the weather conditions when I left the hotel for the start line - and it didn't get much warmer...

Btw - a few folks who tracked me have been telling me my splits were very even - I'm not sure what's going on because by my watch they are all OVER the place. Perhaps they evened out over the distance - ?

Results are in: 1398/7231 overall, 223/2986 women, 47/486 age group. (um - only 7231 people ran the marathon?? - that's tiny!)

The mile markers were super off (did you notice?). So I wouldn't be surprised if you ran even without knowing it. I guess forgetting my watch wasn't such a bad thing:)

Congrats! I enjoyed the weather actually - minus the ice skating at the water stations.

Congratulations Yvonne! To be perfectly honest, I had my doubts if you could run under 3:40 after such a long absence, but I am glad to be proven wrong. That's a great result, well done!

You are the bomb! Congrats Yvonne, you did amazing. I knew you'd do well and you didn't disappoint.
