Pre-race routine:

Nothing unusual. Had a banana and a bowl of yogurt about an hour before the race. Diluted some "Gatorade" with wtaer to make it more palatable for the run. Mixed up 3 bottles for the 3 laps around the FOB.

Comments:

Started a little too fast, but settled into a nice pace. Goal was under 2hrs, so tried to stay about a 9:10 PPM. Mile 8 had to stop for a quick break and did not walk until mile 12 when the guys I was running with need to stop.

Keep trying to keep pace and keep moving in the right direction. Felt good overall.
Post race
Warm down:

A little walking around and a protein shake before bed.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Training, only had about 3 weeks into the training. Was a little tired from being up all night, but otherwise a good run.

You made under your goal even though you stopped to walk.  And even then, you stopped not because you needed to, but because your racing buddies needed to.  You did a great job!

Love your Team RWB kit, very sharp!  Congrats on hitting your goal time, especially on so little sleep and limited training.  Keep up the good work, Jonathan!

Nice job hitting your goal! I'm not sure I'd do well with 3.5 mile laps

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.
