 Run
Comments: Well, I wasn't particularly well-trained (no hill work, only 3 long runs) but overall it went really well. The downhills started to wear on my knees, and the last 3 miles were tiring, but I felt pretty ok. ACtually, the first 9 miles went really fast, just breezed by! What would you do differently?: Train? Maybe if they made plans or something I could have used one. I looked everywhere but didn't find anything...  Post race
Warm down: hobbled around for a little bit. What limited your ability to perform faster: hills, and of course lack of training. :-p Event comments: I actually really liked this race. I knew of the reputation that it was hard and hilly, which it was, but that made the race go by faster (change of scenery). It was extremely well-organized (the bag check was great, the shuttle), there was post-race beer - yay! - as well as chili and soup, vendors with Hint water (tasty, try it! I liked the grapefruit a lot), Cascadia granola, and fruit. THere was even a band playing. Last updated: 2013-04-15 12:00 AM

Master 2770 Central Kansas | Subject: RE: Great Bay Half Marathon Great job! I wish I could run like that on little training, with hills! You are speedy. You will have to post a pic of your new pink shirt. At the half I do each year, some residents pass out beer to runners, during the race. LOL |

Ate NUtrigrain bar and had a cup of coffee, since it was going to be about 2 1/2 hour between leaving my house and race time. Drove to a meet up spot halfway to the race to pick up my friend. Drove up to the race. They had a shuttle service to take us to the event start. Registration was inside a school, which was nice because we could stay warm. We got our numbers and shirts - nice shirts! - went to the bathroom, then checked out the old race shirts for sale. I got one that says "WILL RUN FOR BEER!" in hot pink. Yes!
THen met up with some people from my old Team in Training team in Portsmouth. Stretch a little, then went to bag check, then headed over to the race start (it was about a half mile walk).
See above.
