Pace:

  • 5K - (not posted yet)
  • Half marathon - 9:38

Conditions:

  • 54°
  • 15 mph winds

Observations:

  • With the 5K, I kept a comfortable pace to conserve energy for the half marathon
  • The 5K was so congested with participants that I did not enjoy wiggle room until mile 2
  • I chose not to weave in and out of people
  • With the half marathon, I ran comfortably until mile 8. Then I began to increase my pace with each mile. I did not feel fatigue until mile 12
  • I misjudged the finsih line and sprinted too soon - epic fail

Take Aways:

  • No matter how many times I tell myself that my intention was not to finish a sub 2:00 half, I still deal with a twinge of regret - If I had just weaved more... If I had just started to increase my speed at mile 6... Why did I sign-up for the back-to-back race anyway...
