My first half mary. I had been sick for 3 weeks prior to event which got in the way of workouts prior to event. Was good for first 10 miles a little flat over the last 3 miles.
What would you do differently?:

Not be sick so I could train better 8) .

Course: Beautiful run through the redwoods in Humbolt county CA. Path was very bumpy potholes, broken pavement etc. Everything else was great, time chip so your time was from when you crossed start line to finish line. Great organiztion and staffing, banananas and oranges at every station, stations every 2 miles.

Pretty sweet performance for your first half mary...especially since you've been so sick!  Nice work!  I hope you get to feeling 100% very soon.

Great race! I was looking at doing this one, but it just didn't fit into my schedule. 1:52 is excellent!

WOW! Great time Steve! If this is how you do when lacking training, just imagine how fast you'd be without dealing with being sick! Congratulations on your first half mary!!!!
