 Run
Comments: started off a bit fast, lost my friends right away, lots of 10:30 miles early on, got pretty fatigued the last few miles, ended up @ 11:10 for mile 11, but I brought it back down, made a PR by over 9 minutes, this is the hardest I've ever pushed myself in a race What would you do differently?: I was a bit overdressed because I thought it might rain again; which it didn't, could have gotten by with one less layer, went out a bit too fast and paid for it at the end, but I still got a PR so I did something right :)  Post race
Warm down: water, bagels and beer :), saw a few more friends and my hubby cross the finish line, lots of my friends had PR's here What limited your ability to perform faster: I'm still slow, but I getting faster and learning how to push through a race, my goal was 2:22 and I came in way under that, very happy with this race Event comments: this is a small, local half, the course is great because it is flat, I thought drink stations every 3 miles were a bit far apart, but I thought they did a good job with this race, we even got medals :) Last updated: 2006-01-30 12:00 AM

Champion 19812 MA | Subject: RE: East Beach Norfolk Half Marathon Sue....great race and congrats on your PR!! Nice pace there....great job! I'm hoping you keep up this awesome run training so you can kick butt in the 1/2 IM relay run portion..so our team does well. You have had an incredible year with all your Marathons and 1/2 Marathons. |

| Online or Offline | Subject: RE: East Beach Norfolk Half Marathon That's a great PR! Congrats! Looking forward to seeing another one at Shamrock! I noticed on the race website that there were special MOP and BOP awards given. That's MY kind of race!! (Course then, I still wouldn't win any awards either!) |

Master 1551 Virginia Beach, VA | Subject: RE: East Beach Norfolk Half Marathon Probably no PR at Shamrock since it's only 3 weeks after Tampa, and I'll be running the 8K the day before, but it should be a fun race. |
