Comments:

Water and Fuel just right. The hills the last two miles were small but felt big. First half marathon with moderate training. I feel good about this achievement.
What would you do differently?:

Incorporate more hill training later in my runs. Try not to pull an all nighter at work the week leading into my race weekend.

Congratulations on your first half marathon! You did really well considering you were out-of-town all last week, off of your usual diet, and working hellish hours.
