Comments:

Decent race, first of the season after a really tough winter. Super hilly, possibly hardest course I have done? Satisfied with race. Was pretty cold.
What would you do differently?:

Hard to determine pace. Thought the first few miles were a little conservative, but who knows. Ran strong the last 2-3 miles, except for that final sloth up the last hill. Could have drunk more water perhaps.
Post race
Warm down:

None. Light stretching.

Event comments:

A great race in a historic location. Race started late, and was probably short.

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?”

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.
 
This is, after all, Ironman.

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.
