Pre-race routine:

ate my pb and honey on whole grain bread sandwich in the car, drank heed. COLD. walked to start area, went potty, stretched a bit.
Event warmup:

stretched a bit, not much. found my corral- over 10:00 mile group
Run
  • 2h 49m 31s
  • 13.1 miles
  • 12m 56s  min/mile
Comments:

did 10:1 thing- run ten, walk 1. Good for me as this was my first half, so it made me happy.
What would you do differently?:

run the whole thing, not stop for potty breaks, but that is never going to happen.
Post race
Warm down:

stumbled around, found husband, we were freezing, got food and our glass beer mug, grabbed medal and left.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

STRONG WINDS, so much so that we had a high wind advisory. We had 40 to 50 mph gusting winds, temps in 30s meant windchill was below freezing.

Event comments:

awesome venue for a half or a full marathon. just not my distance.
