Comments:

Good pace on way out, legs were weak on way back about mile 9. Cardiovascular I was fine. Legs just did not want to go. Steep parts kick my but but good course overall. First 1/2 marathon so I need to pace better.
What would you do differently?:

Pace better, do a few more long runs. But overall I felt fine.

Walk, heat at home. Soreness minimal.

Training, longer runs, hills

Event comments:

Good course and the Marines always put on a good show. Little late due to traffic issues. For the price 40 bucks it was worth it. Best Tech shirt and overall shirt so far. good race will prepare better next time.
