  • Overall course based on my ability:

  • Comments: A good race. Improved 6:45 from Charlottesville. I was psyched to break the 8:00/mile pace, and I pushed harder than in Charlottesville, but my relative age group performance was actually slightly worse (62nd percentile here; 64th percentile there). I can do better. Encouragement from the guys was huge. I saw Fornoff and Westy at least 3 separate times on the course, and the buzz from all the guys beforehand was contagious. Schaefer's 1:45 prediction, although basically arbitrary, was exactly the focal point I needed to push harder than I wanted to. A total blast overall.

  • Comments: PR in this distance by four and a half minutes! Actually trying to train for the race paid off, who knew? It's my fourth straight Drake Half-Marathon, and I'll likely be back for number 5.
