Woke up Sunday morning a little after 5 to find out that it was freezing!  Brr!

Talk about a 180.  This is Sundays race gear.  I had to dig all my cold weather gear out of a box in the closet!

We got to the park nice and early.  The hubby went and signed in while I sat in the car.  It was about 38 degrees with a windchill of about 30 degrees.  I honestly didn’t think I was going to get out of the car.  The hubby saved the day and showed up with a giant cup of coffee!

I was bundled up!  I waited until the last minute to check my bag and get rid of my coat.  The wind was absolutely brutal!

About mile 3 we came up the the bay.  It was freezing, but the view was beautiful! ( It was the same loop as Saturday.  The half does 2 loops, the full 4 loops).

The first loop we got to see the sun rise over the bay.  My hubby was also stationed to volunteer here, not too bad of a job huh?

By the second loop, the sun had come out.  This view made not being able to feel my toes or nose much more bearable!

The hubby shot all these photos while he was volunteering.  Big thanks to him and all the wonderful volunteers for standing out in the cold for 2 and half hours to help make race possible!

Here I am on the second loop.  I am pointing to my Purdue headband!  Go Boilers!

Post race with my second half marathon medal and Pelican Challenge medal.  The lady who was handing out the Pelican Challenge awards actually hugged me and said congratulations!  Can you believe that?  I should run more small town races, the hospitality is unbelievable!

Since we skipped the after party yesterday so I could ice my legs, we decided to stay and eat today.  I had a grilled chicken sandwich and cup of coffee.  It is really hard to eat with gloves on!

Yes, I look like a serious goofball.  It was seriously cold and windy.  We were chugging coffee and trying to staying warm until they announce awards.

I was really surprised to hear my name called for my age group because I finished 5 mins slower than yesterday.  Guess the cold got to everyone though!  I placed 3rd in my division!

I got a plaque with the Pelican on it!

I also got really muddy shoes and a couple of blisters because it was impossible to keep your shoes dry.

In the end…

I came home with 3 medals, 1 placing, and a huge sense of accomplishment.  It was a great race, the people were amazing and kind, and the hubby and I are already excited for next year!
