3M Half Marathon and Relay - Run

It was a fun run. Tons of people to watch.

Aaron (JeepFleeb) ran the first 3 or so miles with me. The company was nice. The first three miles were all under 10 min. each. Then he was warmed up and it was time for him to take off.

I was a little lost then, I kept trying to find someone to follow but I didn't like their pace. At mile 3 or so we were passed by a guy running with a triple wide stroller with three toddlers and he had a case of beer on the bottom! Later around mile 6 or so I was passed by a guy pushing a double wide stroller (no beer).

I only had two hammergels and I tried to make them last. I stopped to go the bathroom at the half way point and probably lost a few mintues.

I tried to start out slow, I didn't feel like I was breathing hard even though the pace was a little faster than what I train at. Mile 6 felt really slow. The downhill piece around mile 9 or so I felt like I was flying - downhill is nice!

I would have liked to have had a better breakfast, but on the other hand my stomach was fine the whole time, so maybe it was good I didn't eat much. By mile 11-12 I was starving!

I didn't have my watch with me - now I wish I would have pushed it to finish under 2 hours. Skipped the bathroom break would probably have done it for me.

Walked around the football field, had a banana and water. Got an awesome leg massage!


Very organized, lots of volunteers and food. Free massage! And plenty of buses to bring you back to the start line.
