Well, the 1st 6 miles we got rained on!! The upside was you had something distracting you. Probably lost a minute due to bushwhacking around flooded sections!!! Fairly flat throughout; Campion trail's nice; volunteers AWESOME; cause=AWESOME.
All-in-all pretty satisfied given my training-oh wait!! I DIDN'T train!!
What would you do differently?:

TRAIIINNNN!!!!!!!
Post race
Warm down:

Walking, watching post-race gaggle activities.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

LACK of TRAINING!!!

Steady is our walk. Ignoring the pain that is radiating from my feet, I continue to place one foot in front of the other. Again I wonder, “Why am I doing this?”

Having three seasons under my belt I thought I knew what I was doing. That all changed with a few new challenges and a bunch of new friends.

I will assume you have not run consistently more than 6 miles and have never completed a half-marathon. I believe running your first half-marathon is a big task which requires dedication and work.

My training was taking off. I had never felt stronger. I was making bigger strides than I ever had. I was stronger and faster than I had imagined myself ever being.
