Apparently all you need to do to prepare for a half marathon is worry about it and make a half hearted attempt at training. I finished....
The medal is a little over-kill really; but I wasn't last (there was a 90 yr old with a walker behind me). I was worried about whether I would have the energy; I had tons of energy, I was worried about whether my muscles would hurt - they just ached a little after about 19K; but the thing that screwed me up a bit was that my FEET were KILLING me after about 9K. I tried everything to distract myself from my hurting feet; but I just had to work through it. At least I made it. My goal was to finish under 4 hours (I know, I know, hardly a lofty goal) so I succeeded, and it was an added bonus that I wasn't last. I ran a little and walked lots BUT I FINISHED!!
Driving home was entertaining - wind gusts up to 100 km p/h - I saw about 10 trucks blown off the side of the road - very nasty.
