• Comments: I planned on really pushing my effort on this race to see if I could set a new PR for the Half and to challenge myself with my new cadence and pace. My previous PR for the Half was 2:10:57. My goal for this race was 2:00:00. I started too slow at the beginning as we started to spread out. I saw several friends (Kerri and Pam) and talked with them as we ran the first 1-2 miles. I had to stop talking and take off at mile 2 when I realized that I was 1:30 behind my pace goal. Going from mile 3-6 was awesome as it was a gradual downhill (except for the overpass). I could feel that I was slightly out of my comfort zone as I was working hard to make up the lost time. I ran a 57:06(9:12) 10k time. That beat my previous PR by 2 minutes! Then at mile 7, I had to stop and pee. I waiting in line for about 2 minutes and then went as fast as I could. Total time stopped was probabl7 2-3 minutes. I knew I had some make-up to do from there. If I had known the course better, I would have stopped

• Comments: The start was delayed because of problems with the PA that they never did get figured out. Post-race spread was good with Krispy Kremes, breakfast tacos, cookies, fruit, etc. They even had a 3M employee band playing that wasn't half bad. I didn't stick around long, though. I wanted to get home and take my ice bath.
