Nice time + great pace ... an average of under 8:00 mi is nothing to sneeze at.

HR over 180 for the entire race?! Wow ... that would have done me in by mile 3!

Congratulations on a successful start of the season.

Congratulations on your time kebwilson.

This was my first 1/2 mary and I did it in 2:31:13. I started "training" a month ago and had never made it past 10 miles so I am thrilled that I finished it without stopping, albeit at an 11+ min/mile pace.

It was a beatiful day for a run, with relatively low humidity, and the sunrise over the ocean was spectacular.
