Not bad run for my first half marathon. Prior run races had only been 5K. My pace was sustainable. Felt it in the legs during the last 5 miles but was actually able to finish with a demi-decent sprint. Very pleased with effort and hope to break 2 hours and 10 min in April.

Time should improve with more base training. Runners World predicted a 2:15 time and was only off by a minute.

Legs too wasted to do any immediate warm down. Went to McDonalds for breakfast and drove home for 2 hours. Once home, took a hot bath which seemed to help with the soreness. Slept rest of the day.


Wouldn't mind doing this race again. I might have been overwhelemd by a bigger race. This seemed just right in terms of number of participants. It was also well organized and nice to run along the beach on the boardwalk.
