Congrats to Finish Strong's Brittney Dio who won her AG at the Orlando 13.1 on November 8.

Brittney reports, "PR'd by almost 8 minutes for my second HM! 1:46:43 @ 8:05/mile 🎉🏃🏻And 1st in my age group!! ☺☺☺ I'm elated. Like over the moon. Like, what just happened?! 🙈 Zero knee pain & a male running buddy who thought he was keeping up with me and vice versa. 👍🏼 February 28th this year I ran my first half in 1:54:09 and last night I had said "if I'm under 2:00, I'll be happy. Under 1:54, I'll be excited and under 1:50:00, ELATED." Thank you Finish Strong Coaching for a group of awesome motivators and role models and Stephen Clouthier for being such a supportive coach!"
