Went out slightly faster than planned, then started running with a group doing 7:40 pace. Thought I'd ride along.

Slow my pace to what I planned, 8:00/mi. This was supposed to be a prep for Boston. Lucky no injuries, but my legs are sure talkin to me, givin me h@ll.

Had to walk against the cold wind to get my dry bag. That cooled me down too fast.


The wind in our face was brutal, especially felt in the last two miles along the beach.


Hey, we got beer at the Hampton Half. How do ya stack up to that?

There were no timing chips, which means all times are gun times. The folks who started back in the pack probably had significant time added to their total. But I will say, the crew did a great job of getting the results posted the old fashioned way.
