Point to point race. First HM. Kept it slow and in control from the gun. Really focused on not going too fast. Started to pick up the pace at 4 and then again at 7 miles. Started pushing the last 3.1 miles. Although I ran the tangents I measured the course at 13.2 and my wife at 13.3.
What would you do differently?:

Could have pushed a little harder

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.
