The Hurricane Half Marathon was a blast. The weather ended up just right for a run, although there was a pretty good head wind through most of the run. Mile 1 was a warm up mile, just wanted to get the legs loose and ready to go, my split for this mile was 9:06. Mile 2 was starting to find a good rythum and hung with two guys fron out of country, one was from South Africa, the other was from England very nice men. My pace for mile 2 was 8:30. Mile 3 to mile 7 found some uphill and my pace slowed some, still hanging with the two guys from out of country, there goal was to get in under 2 Hrs. Mile 9 found some very steep down hill I was still feeling very good and pace was at 7:47. Miles 10 and 11 some more up hill still feeling strong. Decided to pick up the pace a little and said good-by to the guys out of country, Mile 12 pace was 8:39, and mile 13.1 pace was 8:01. All in all I felt good throughout the whole race, ended up being my second fastest Half Marathon.

I just wanted to tell you good job again brother. You ran a great race and you finished strong which is really good, I think I need to get busy before you catch me. I can see you closing the gap over my right shoulder so I better get Jiggy with it.

See ya soon.

Your Bro. Clay

Great job. Looks like you ran a great race. Sub-4 is definitely within reach.

What is your half-marathon PR, and which course did you set it on?
