Run
Comments: I was really pleased with my time. Going into the race, I thought I would be somewhere between 1:45 and 1:40. At mile 8, I was thinking, "Hot damn - I'm going to break 1:40!". M1 - 8:00 M2 - 7:50 M3 - 7:45 M4 - 7:27 M5 - 7:24 M6 - 7:30 M7 - 7:22 M8 - 7:17 M9 - 7:15 M10 - 7:34 M11 - 8:02 (hilly, windy, hit a slight wall here) M12 - 7:35 M13 - 7:21 last 10th - :41 Jonathan Biggs #24816 Phoenix, AZ Age: 36 Gender: M Distance HALF MAR Clock Time 1:43:27 Chip Time 1:39:11 Gender Place 519 / 7939 Age Grade 60.4% Placeoall 634 Placediv 87 Pace 7:34 Ttldiv 1273 Ttlsex 7939 5 Km 25:07 10 Km 47:43 10 2 Mile 1:15:38 What would you do differently?: I brought my sunglasses in my gear bag, but forgot to get them out before I checked it. Nutrition was good - no changes there. I need to work on a faster 5k. It basically took me all race to work my average down because of the slow start. I also need to start in an earlier coral. I had to run around too many people between miles 1 - 8, then it finally spread out. Post race
Warm down: Typical walk around, then stretched in the NB tent. What limited your ability to perform faster: Slow start Event comments: The gel station was around mile 8 -- a little too late in my opinion. Glad I had one on me to use earlier. I need to do the full mary next year... Last updated: 2008-12-10 12:00 AM

Got up at 6a and ate the usual - slice of bread with peanut butter, banana, and e-fuel. Rode to the race with a friend who was also running the half. About 30 min before the start, I checked my gear bag, took a gel, and got in coral 4.
