Comments:

I decided I would try and run 7:15 per mile pace. I knew this could be a challenge given my 60M bike ride yesterday. At mile 11 I started to get cramps which slowed me down. I saw that I was close to a PR, so I just hung on for dear life, and pulled it off. A Half Marathon P.R. for Lar dog.

I started the race 8 minutes late and had to work my way through the crowds...Not an easy feat.

What would you do differently?:

Not eat so much fruit the day before. The poor people behind me!
Post race
Warm down:

Light stretching

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The crowds and my cramps late in the race

Event comments:

Lar dog is really pleased. Lar dog has done 13 half marathons, and this is my best time. Another P.R. I am really happy about it.
