Completed a half marathon yesterday. Finished in a time of 1 hr and 48 mins. Much better then I had thought, was able to easily cruse to the finish. Really think using the energy gels make a difference. Hard to get enough water out of a cup and keep up the pace. Course had lots of ups and downs the entire way. About a couple of miles into it I started running with this young lady that had a really good pace going. She would roll over the top of a hill and just take off. So for awhile I would have to catch up on the next up hill. We kept this up through the ten mile point and then she started to fade. She finally caught up and I pulled her the last few miles at a great downhill finish.
It was a really great day, sun wad out but never did get hot. Course was great, Like I said lots of ups and downs but no real hard hills at all. Was a little different having to deal with traffic but most people were nice and moved over.
Have put it on the calender for next year. Had a lot of fun. Next race is a 10k in September.
