Comments:

OK, my running group was part of a test batch of marathon relay teams of 2. Each runner on the team was supposed to complete a half marathon. Sounds good. Well, there was nothing marked for us, because we were not official, so after the transition, most of us ended up starting after mile 15. I don't know what happened to the other 1.9 miles. The first mile marker I saw read 16. Oh well, I have an 11.2 mile PR :) My run felt great!
What would you do differently?:

Figure out the course ahead of time so I can run the entire 1/2 marathon!

Warm down:

Some stretching, change into warmer clothes, enjoy beers, burgers, and dogs with my fellow Rebel Runners.

Course: Flat at times, but also hilly. I enjoyed the hills and support on some of the course. Some of the course, however, had no support, which was disappointing.
