Did not push myself early - had some bad experiences during training runs doing this. First time racing this distance, tried to stay at moderate effort the first 10 miles.

Would consider pushing myself a little bit harder - potentially begin increasing pace at mile 8 instead of 10.

I hate to call a half marathon easy, but there is no section of the course that challenges you. Perfect first half-marathon - course has lots of shade, tons of aid stations and race was very well organized. Loved the corral start - much better than Broad Street Run start.
