Here we are already in May and at the Cellcom Green Bay Half Marathon. Even though this race was not on my “A” list this year, I still look forward to it every year. The Race Director, Sean, always puts on the best races around here. Plus, the race finishes at Lambeau Field (which you also get to run through) and has all-you-can-eat-brats with beer at the finish. Gotta love that!
The day before the race we had some crazy wind around here. Thankfully, it died down and gave us a decently nice day – mid 40s at the start, sunny, some wind, but not too bad to start off with. Overall pretty nice. Taking this race in stride with training, everything went pretty well. I’ve had better races but still a decent showing for today. I took a time of 1:18:39 – placing 3rd out of 158 in my age group and 27th out of 3744 overall.
As usual, I’ll save you all the details here so you can read the full race report. I also have a few pics of the day which will be up here as well.
Up next, Kansas 70.3 in June. I’m really looking forward to tri season around here!

A top 1% finish for a race that didn’t even make your A list is not bad at all. Congrats! That sounds like a fun course. Someday when I have a few extra bucks, I’ll try to make it out to that one. I love the races that end in a stadium — nothing beats that feeling.

brats and beer at the finish definitely makes it worth towing the line. good work!
