Race: Painters Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) 01:26:00, Place overall: 30, Place in age division: 5

Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
0.00	13.10	0.00	0.00	13.10

Race felt great today. First 10 miles were all right on to break 1:25. Last 3 I fell of to 6:40-6:45 pace. Couldn't make it up at the end. But I was very pleased with the race overall and feel very good about my time. Really wish I would have pushed a little harder to break 1:26 but oh well... This is my 2nd 1/2. First one was at Bryce last summer and I got 1:32 so very much improved...

Saucony Fastwitch 3 Miles: 13.10

Gratz on a great PR. I would think that course is harder then Bryce so you have improved alot. Great job.

Good race Nate. You barley missed your goal and got a big PR on a harder course. Keep up the good work and your marathon PR will ROCK!

Sorry I missed you this morning. We've had company all weekend and I wasn't sure what my plans were going to be this morning.

Great job on the race.

You are going to crush out the marathon this year - keep consistent.
