08 Jan Egmond Half (2:11:41) Race Report / Race Website
Wonderful half consisting of 1/3 beach run, 1/3 dune run, 1/3 city run. Exhilarating. Started too slow, managed a 6K sprint at the end...



2011 

09 Oct Nijmegen Zevenheuvelenloop 15K (1:28:04) Race Report / Race Website

Great 15K that includes HILLS (a rarity in the Netherlands). I was less trained (and thus slower) than last year, but enjoyed it at least as much. I even managed a finish sprint.

16 Oct Amsterdam Half (2:07:42) Race Report / Race Website

Wisely switched from full to half due to lack of training. Managed first 10K at 2:00 hour pace than proceeded to blow up. Will come back next year and conquer this race!

09 Oct Eindhoven Half (2:29:25) Race Report/ Race Website 
2/3 in my 3 halfs in 3 weekends quest. Ran this one with a friend at her pace. It rained and rained and rained. Start was a bit messy. Finish was confusing. We kept thinking we were there, but weren't.

02 Oct Singelloop Half (2:09:31) Race Report / Race Website
02 Oct Singelloop 5K (35:51) Race Report / Race Website
Joined my cousin on her 1st 5K in the morning and then ran the half marathon in my back yard in the afternoon. Much better organized than last year (with more water posts) and the same great music ambiance. Like last year, very hot. Time slower than last year...


18 Sep Dam to Dam Loop 10M (1:35:33) Race Report / Race Website
One of the most famous (and scenic) Dutch runs, from AmsterDAM to ZanDaAM. Well worth it, but again, VERY WET!

18 Jun Zwolle Half Marathon (2:05:28) Race Report / Race Website
A run by night (3 laps) in the city center. Very wet...


29 May Breda Ladies Run 10K (55:03) Race Report / Race Website
A nice little 10K in the center of Breda, the weather was a bit too nice!
 
15 May Leiden Half Marathon (1:56:51, New PR) Race Report / Race Website
The course was beautiful, the weather was perfect.

25 Apr Jaarbeurs Utrecht Half (2:12:05) Race Report / Race Website
I executed this race perfectly nutrition-wise, but slowed down due to the extreme (for me) heat.

13 Mar CPC Loop Den Haag (Half Marathon) (2:02:51) Race Report / Race Website
What was supposed to be a long run with 30,000 of my closest buddies was instead a reminder of why I always need to prepare physically and mentally for races.

13 Feb Groet Uit Schoorl 10K (53:39, New PR) Race Report / Race Website
Another 10K, this time with much better preparation. Still went out too fast, but I'm getting better at the pacing thing. 

27 Jan Mastboscross Breda 10K (1:00:44, PR) Race Report / Race Website
My first 10K and my first cross race all in one. Insufficient preparation and a tumble made this a learning experience!

09 Jan Egmond Half Marathon (1:57:08, New PR) Race Report / Race Website
A gnarly half marathon including 7K on the beach.

01 Jan R.I.T.N.Y 5K (25:20) Race Report / Race Website
The first run of 2011. We started 1 minute before midnight and ran into the new year (and in the dark).

21 Nov Nijmegen Zevenheuvelenloop (15K) (1:25:34, PR) Race Report / Race Website
A very fun race in Nijmegen. The title means: the seven hill run and I can confirm that there were seven real hills in that run (NL is otherwise flat...)

17 Oct Amsterdam Marathon (NL) (5:02:03, PR ) Race Report / Race Website
Suffering at its best.

03 Oct Breda Singelloop (1/2 Marathon) (2:08:54) Race Report / Race Website
A tour around my 'hood.

19 Jun Strides for Nature 6K (41:12, PR) Race Report / Race Website

29 May Fly by Night Duathlon (2nd AG) Race Report / Race Website
A really fun race on the Watkins Glen racing track. Greatly recommended if you are looking for something exciting! Consists of Run Bike Run Bike Run (because only two transitions would be too easy).

02 May Pittsburgh Half Marathon (1:59:24, PR) Race Report / Race Website
My first half-marathon, in a new city, and in under two hours!
