Event comments:

My first 1/2 Marathon. Did my first 4 Sprint Triathlons over the summer and did two 5K races. Figured I was in good enough shape (from Tri training) to do a 1/2 Marathon. I figured correctly. Maybe will do the full 26.2 next year. My opinion is that the training for sprint triathlons is pretty good prep for a 1/2 Marathon.
