This was part of my half-marathon race. I did the 5K then ran back into my corral to run the half-marathon. I did not know how to record back-to-back races.
Conditions:
- 54°
- Breezy
- Congested the entire race with runners

One America Mega Mini Challenge (13.109 Miles) 02:06:21, Place overall: 6395, Place in age division: 50 | | Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0.00 |
| Pace:
- 5K - (not posted yet)
- Half marathon - 9:38
Conditions:
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...

Seymour Half Marathon (13.109 Miles) 01:58:52, Place overall: 42, Place in age division: 1 | | Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0.00 |
| Pace: 9:04
Conditions:
- 58°
- Rain and drizzles the entire race
- Intermittent wind gusts 10 to 15 mph
Observations:
- This race provided pacers during the entire race. I stayed with the 2 hour pacer. He informed me that he was going to pace his racers to run 9:00 to 9:05 minute miles.
- I stayed with him the entire race.
- At mile 12.5 he informed our small remaining group that we would finish at 1:59:30 if we continued this pace.
Take Away:
- I need a pacer!!!!!
- I missed a PR by 30 seconds, but I felt great the entire race - no mental distress, no extreme fatigue, no leg cramps, no overly fast start, energy to sprint to the finish
- I need to figure out how to use my watch so I know my pace at each mile or get a fitbit that tells me my pace at each mile. I have NEVER run a race where I kept a steady pace before.
