Most importantly - Official race time was GUN TIME.... First ever race with gun time for me.. Did not know this before the race. Very strange..... Actual chip time was 1:58:25. Gun time difference between me and second place finisher was 19 seconds. Chip time difference between me and second place finisher 40 seconds.

Nothing flat about this course.... Garmin recorded 363 ft of climbing! And of course uphill climb to finish line. Pretty tough course always going up or down.

Fueling... one RCS and one Mito before leaving hotel for race. One gel 5 min before start of race. One gel at mile 7. Drank 1/2 one 10oz bottle with 2 scoops of SE. and 1/2 10oz bottle with water.

If you run this race, line up as close as possible to the starting line. Awards are based on gun time not chip time!!

I wasn't sure if this race still went on or not. How was the course? Do you run through any of the Battlefields or State Park areas?

I was wondering the same thing.  One of the most interesting places I have ever been too and a HM would be a great way to experience it.

Great time for the race.  It is a bit hilly there.

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?”

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.
