I enjoyed running the Riverton Half Marathon this morning, despite all the strong headwinds and hills. This was my first half marathon which was not part of a full. 1. 6:35 2. 6:42 13:17 3. 7:05 20:22 4. 6:42 27:04 5. 6:54 33:58 6. 7:17 41:17 7. 7:08 48:24 8. 7:23 55:47 9. 6:40 1:02:27 10. 7:30 1:09:57 11. 6:53 1:16:50 12. 6:47 1:23:38 13. 6:25 1:30:03 .12 0:40 1:30:43 I got passed during mile 6 by one guy, then passed again during mile 8. I hate to admit it, but the second time I was passed I was walking while drinking some Gatorade (and was wussing out). I was not gaining on the 2 guys ahead of me and had a sizeable gap on anyone behind me, so I wussed out again and walked during mile 10 on the steep switchback. (Totally mental, oh well.) At least I started running an ran all the way in. Overall I consider it a good effort. On the bright side, I was not chicked and feel the course was fairly difficult, especially having to take on all the headwind alone. It was also good to see a number of bloggers.
