Just my stupid mistake.

I’ve seen Asha SIT through a half mile faster than that…..

I wasn’t trying to belittle Asha’s accomplishment. I was just curious because of the earlier error (now corrected) that the time was for a half mile, rather than for a half marathon.

In any event, yes, congratulations! 🙂

And there’s that whole trailing :14 not accounted for. So I’m going to assume this is a “half marathon,” rather than a half mile, with the stated time in hours/minutes/seconds. Which is certainly respectable, and better than I could do, but not mind-bogglingly fast.
