Today was my first Half Marathon. I was really excite and ready just to have fun in it. First mile i went out way to hard. I was supposed to be running 7:15 miles but the first one was 5:38. Way to fast for a really really hilly course. Next 2 were okay and i could see the people in front of me. miles 3-5 were fun in a nice single track trail run section. after that we went on the road and then we climbed a huge hil, i mean huge and it was made out sand. that stunk but i kept at 7:10 pace. Miles 6-10 sucked because i was tired and alone. at 9 i took my first glu and kept running alone. made it to 11 when guy came up to me and ran with me. He was nice but he started moving up and i couldnt Dad came at mile 12 and 12.5 i hit the wall. i was not liking the run and was yelling but somehow i finished, and got 12th, 9th male and 3rd in the giant age group of 10-19. ( i got beat by 2 seniors.) not bad for my first race and felt good after words.
