Hung with a buddy who was doing his first Half. Held back quite a bit until the last 4 miles. At mile 9 (1:52) broke away and finished at 2:15.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Got to encourage a person to make running a lifestyle change.

Warm down:

Walked around. Drank beer and eat the free stew.

Decision to stay with a buddy.

Event comments:

Hurt my right ITB running so slow. Tried to run ahead and then back and even run in place to keep the legs stretched out.
