Comments:

I treated this just like a training run, because basically that is what it was. This was a significant milestone on my way to Half Iron in Sept. Pacing was just right, and asthma was under control. It was a great run.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe a bit more run volume.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretching,walking,hydrating. Slow bike ride the day after to work out the soreness.

Event comments:

Still waiting on the race results to be posted online, but it really does not matter. I finished a 1/2 marathon which is the longest I have ever run therefore a personal best.
