Comments:

I planned to run a hard training run sub 1:30 half but I took off on pace for a 1:25-1:26. I should have gone with my race plan. It served no purpose to take off - other than to hurt myself.

Twice I began to turn the wrong way before correcting course.
What would you do differently?:

Go with the game plan.

I wore new racing flats for this. They aren't the right shoes for me for a race this distance. I had planned to wear this in the Sept HIM. I will wear my old flats.
Post race
Warm down:

I ran back a mile on the course to pick up my friend for his final mile.
Road the bike home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

To high of a pace for the heat and my fitness level.

Event comments:

This race is awesome because it is only $20 to do - even with race day registration. It helps that it is only a few miles from my house too.

I paced with the top woman who runs consistent 1:26-1:27 At 7 miles i had difficulty and allowed the small group I was with to gain ground. I had a rough next 5 miles. The final 1.1 mile was difficult but I was able to push through it for a decent finish.
Course: 2 loops downtown columbus. Not a particularly scenic course. frequent short rolling hills.
