1:33:42 (7:09 average pace). A new PR by 30 seconds! Hoorah! Obviously, the race went well. I decided to target 7:15 for the first half of the race, and I was more or less spot on. My plan for the second half was to go faster. And here is where the race went better than I expected. I sunk into a 7:00 pace and found the zone, taking it down to 6:39 in the 13th mile, and then down to 6:24 to the finish with lots of energy to spare.

Looking forward to shaving another 30 seconds to a minute off next race!

Congrats on the new PR! Very impressive that you were able to pick it up so much in the second half.

Congrats on a PR! This was my first marathon I ran ever in 2003! So cool.

It is a great race, and there are a lot of fast runners that show up for it! Awesome atmosphere.
