Super happy with this race.

3rd was about 40 seconds in front but 5th and 6th were directly behind me. (I passed them in the final mile as I kicked) As it turned out, it was a drag race to the finish. Dang this is a tough age group wink emoticon

I ended up with a 21 second negative split and am very pleased with my pacing. My HR was a bit elevated but with a 10 kt wind, that is to be expected.

This was my 3rd sub-90 half marathon and my best showing at this race. (I was 39th OA, 5th AG last year)
Next up, Carlsbad Marathon in January

Congrats on the great time. I used to live in Coronado when I was stationed in SD with the Navy, but they didn't have this race back then. I did a lot of training up and down the Strand and it is a great flat course. May have to come back for it next year. Good luck in January!

Steady is our walk. Ignoring the pain that is radiating from my feet, I continue to place one foot in front of the other. Again I wonder, “Why am I doing this?”

I will assume you have not run consistently more than 6 miles and have never completed a half-marathon. I believe running your first half-marathon is a big task which requires dedication and work.

My training was taking off. I had never felt stronger. I was making bigger strides than I ever had. I was stronger and faster than I had imagined myself ever being.
