Comments: Race was awesome with lots of support. I normally run the full and that experience is 10x better. I'm used to almost being alone at the finishing chute with my name being called and me being on the stadium big screen. This time, people were finishing literally 1-3/second because I only did the half which is way more popular (~9000 vs 2000). It's a popular race for a reason though.
This is the first all out HM. I did as well as I could hope. I do think I could be a few minutes faster though, under ideal conditions (no injury and a real tapper). Garmin log: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/764020615
Comments: Dad, Mom & Thomas came out about 6 different spots. That was fun, Dad even ran a bit with us (a short distance). My headband came off just a short distance from the curve around the stadium, and when I went back, I could see it about to be trampled. I did not have enough energy to even consider going back for it. Oh well. I kinda thought I would throw up, even though there was nothing in my stomach. There are so many people at the end, you can't even pass anyway so we didn't try to sprint to the end which probably helped. The end is the worst, we always get stuck in the tunnel and can't keep moving. Also, they were serving soup from Zoup-so it smelled gross! Overall though, we felt pretty great and this was a lot of fun! :)
