Ep. 4 | 2021 Sioux Falls Half Marathon | Sioux Falls, South Dakota
Unexpectedly running the 2021 Sioux Falls Half Marathon, which was held on 29 August 2021. This was supposed to be a full marathon, but extreme weather the night before left parts of the course underwater resulting in that distance option getting canceled. However, the half marathon route was in better shape, so those of us planning to run the full were bumped down to the half. I came in 138th out of the 957 runners who finished the race. My time was 1:43:24.
