Comments: I ran very well, taking about 2-3 swallows of Gatorade at each water break, keeping my hydration and energy levels just perfect. The only walks I took were just 2-3 steps at some water breaks to get the fluid down without also getting a lot of air. My pace held constant--fastest mile was 7:22, slowest was 7:52...OK, my last mile was 6:40-something but by then I was letting it all hang out. This was a PR for me, improving my time from the 2007 San Jose Rock and Roll Half Marathon by about 90 seconds (5 seconds per mile), so I was well pleased. This was also the first half marathon that my 21 year old son had ever done, and he finished in 1:51:01. 22/36 age group, 521/2074 overall--he did awesome! To tie it all together, my wife also PR'd in this race, improving her San Jose time to 1:48:18. Post race
