Comments:

Started off for the first half at about a 9:30 pace. Slowed around mile 8 due to energy loss. Downed a gel and some powerade and started to feel better. Ran last 5-6 miles at about 10:30 apace. Really struggled with keeping pace in last 3 miles. Forced myself to keep running. It hurt, but I was able to finish strong.

Felt much stronger than in previous halfs. Better training really paid-off. Goal was to finish in 2:15 or less and I did it! PR by 16 minutes on a much hillier course than Disney.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, I am really pleased with my effort.

Warm down:

Grabbed some food and met up with my group.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Wow, that course was hilly. I think we ran on every street with a hill in downtown Atlanta.

Hey Cindi - I missed you out there.  That course was hilly, I agree.  But I kind of liked it overall, it had so many turns it never got boring.  Nice job!
