Half marathon in just under 1:54
About 8:42 pace.
Season best by about 5 minutes.
New shoes, worked good.
Basically no problems at all.
Overcast, some wind, and light rain for first hour.
Overcast and cool next 30 minutes.
Sun came out and it started to get warm last 2 miles.
A couple of hills in the middle, first couple of mile markers were missing,
but basically a perfect race.
Sadly, still 30 seconds per mile behind what I need for Boston,
but that amounts to about 15 pounds.
I got that and more to lose, so still on track.
1:59 was good for 2nd in age group 3 weeks ago,
5 minutes faster is worth about 5th or 6th this time.
Nothing hurt and feeling good.
Time to eat.
edit:
I finished 7th of 9 in my age group.
The winner traveled 1900 from florida.
And there were a bunch from wayyyy out of state.
The two women I passed around mile 11 came
from Pennsylvania and Maryland.
They were on a "half marathon in all 50 states" quest.
