Interesting comparison to last year, first 8 miles was 1 min. faster, last 5 miles 1 minute slower than last year so ended just 15 seconds better this year. Last 5 miles was tough, gain/loss was 300 ft different than last year
What would you do differently?:

Not much - maybe out a little too fast, need to go faster n downhills, held back too much on those
Post race
Event comments:

race has grown to 650 and better post race activities, small country race but pretty challenging hills

Steady is our walk. Ignoring the pain that is radiating from my feet, I continue to place one foot in front of the other. Again I wonder, “Why am I doing this?”

Having three seasons under my belt I thought I knew what I was doing. That all changed with a few new challenges and a bunch of new friends.

I will assume you have not run consistently more than 6 miles and have never completed a half-marathon. I believe running your first half-marathon is a big task which requires dedication and work.

My training was taking off. I had never felt stronger. I was making bigger strides than I ever had. I was stronger and faster than I had imagined myself ever being.
