Note To Self...

AKA rookie mistake #3...

When signing up for your very first 1/2 marathon, make sure to not take the course description too literally.

Make sure to REALLY take a look at the map.

I mean REALLY!!

If you don't, you may end up signing up for a half that talks of rolling and gradual uphills...

Which, doesn't sound too harmless, right?

But, what you'll get is some CRAZY big hill around mile 5.

With the only benefit being that it's pretty,

And eventually, after the gradually rolling hills, you'll get to go downhill.

As my wonderful friend pointed out,

At least it will make the next one look easy and give me a great PR!

Thanks wonderful friend!
