Awesome race. Beautiful weather. I had a gel before the race, then another one by mile 6.5. I ran a negative split, second half I ran under 10 min mile. I ran out of gas by mile 11, I had a gatorade and was strong for the last mile.
What would you do differently?:

Play with gel/drink intake last 3 miles of race.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I did great, 6 min less than any other 1/2 marathon (split) I've done.

Event comments:

Great race, lots of volunteers, food. Well organized. Will do it again!

Congrats on your race and 6min drop!

I have the full mary on my 2006 schedule. My sis lives in WPB (Wellington) so I'm going to have a nice visit while I'm at it.

Thank you guys!
We were so lucky, It was the perfect day for a race! 55 degrees, clear, low humidity. The organization was great, plenty water stations. After 10am it got a little hot for people running the full marathon. I was glad I ran only 1/2. The waterstops were competing for the wackiest water station, they had a theme (Wizard of Oz, Pirates, etc). It was fun!
