Hyannis Half Marathon - RunHalf Marathon

Intended to run 8:45 pace but started out too fast and did first 6 miles at around 8:30...then did the next six at about 9:00 pace. So, it averaged out the same, but no negative splits here.

Water stops at such random locations made it hard to coordinate my fueling (Sports Beans) with fluids.

Not wear a jacket. I was definitely overdressed. Also, hold to my planned pace at beginning. And continue fueling as planned through end.

Stumbled to a halt, said hi to a couple people, before downing a lot of water and then heading quickly inside for chowder and donuts (the recovery food of champions). Did not stretch enough, aside from a half-hearted effort in the soup line.


Fatigue, resulting from starting out too fast and possibly not fueling quite enough. Also my second-to-last week of training was a little light due to vacation in California.


I really wish (as I did last year) there were more drink stations and a little more organization. But it's a good race to do -- everybody does it, you can at least hang out in the (chaotic) ballroom before and after, and it's a good course.
