Race: Labor Day Half Marathon (13.109 Miles) 01:17:09, Place overall: 22, Place in age division: 6

Total Distance

16.00

Massive half marathon PR (67 seconds). I feel like this has been due for a couple of years, but I've always been running fairly slow courses.

Tons of fast people showed up to this race (The winning time was actually 1:01:01 with 2 more sub 1:05.) So the race got out fast. I was in roughly 25th place at the mile (in 5:40). I thought that maybe some of the people ahead would start dropping back, but it never really happened. I moved up to 24th at about mile 4, but it seemed like everyone else was getting further away.

I started to gain ground a little after the turnaround at mile 7, but it took me four more miles to actually catch up to anyone. I moved into 23rd right at mile 11, and then into 22nd right at mile 12. That mile was actually my slowest of the race. I started to feel my lack of miles at the end of this race, but when it felt like I was barely moving it was still 6 flat pace. I managed to drop the pace again when I saw the mile 12 marker, finishing with a 5:49.

5:40, 5:52, 5:50, 5:48, 5:56, 5:56, 5:54, 5:56, 5:54, 5:57, 5:59, 6:02, 5:49, 35

My plan for the fall is to do marathon type prep for the Seattle half marathon. It will be hard to beat this time at that course however.

Workout with Club Northwest.

Race simulation. Started with a 400m (I didn't time it, but probably in the 74-75 range).

Then 1k hard to simulate the start of a race: 3:12. Apparently I run a lot faster with other people around.

Then after 2.5 mins rest we did one loop around Green lake at 20-25 seconds slower than 5k race pace. I did 2.8 miles in 15:52 which is 5:40 pace.

Then after another 2.5 mins another km. I ran 3:14. It was a smaller group for the second km, because we spread out quite a bit over the course of the workout.
