Comments:

Good run, PR for me on the half marathon. Good run after being injured. Ran the first mile, then Ran 1/2 mile, walked 1 minute. Kept up this pace throughout the race. Overall, that worked out well. About mile 8-9 my right foot plantar started hurting a bit when running on the left side of the road. I tried to stay on the right side of the road to ease the issue.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, good run for the lack of training leading into the race and the injury issues.
Post race
Warm down:

walked around and talked to everyone.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Injury and training.

Event comments:

Good race and a lot of support. It's always a fun race. This year they ran out of post race food and drinks, which was horrible (I was starving at the time, no food or beer). There were no issues in the prior year, but seemed like it may have been a bit bigger this year.
