That was my chip time today for the Seattle half marathon. Here's the results. Surprisingly good given the fact that I parked AFTER the race had begun. Traffic was pretty much a nightmare getting to the start although I can't say that I did myself any favors in terms of planning other than leaving the house really early. I guess I got my stretching in working the clutch in my car as I made my way through the traffic.
I will say that it seems that a better job could be done getting folks off I-5 onto the Mercer exit then up to Seattle Center. The only police car I saw actually pulled someone over for blocking an intersection as we all made our way to the start line. Remember – follow the rules in Seattle!
A good race and nice stroll through downtown as well as some of the really cool neighborhoods of Seattle (Leschi, Madison Park, etc.).
