 Run
Comments: Ran most of the race with TGAP and DK at a good comfortable pace of 10 - 10:30/mile. Caught up with OnTheRun in the marathon line and we ran with him for @ 1.5 miles. I ate a gel @10minues before start and then again at 50 minutes and 1:40. Around 9 miles I made a pit stop and then picked up my pace to catch up with TGAP and DK. After cresting the hill on the last bridge I felt the need to kick it up and ran the last 3 miles or so at 9:20/mile. The finish around the warning track in the baseball park is the best! What would you do differently?: nada  Post race
Warm down: Watched tri team mate and TAGP and DK finish and waited in line for post-race food. Yummy soup, pbj sandwiches, bananas and oranges. We munched sitting in the stadium and got to see the first marathoners come in...boy were they fast! All in all I had a great time! This is the first race where I've had company running and it makes the time go so much faster. Thanks guys! Event comments: Maybe next year return for the full marathon???? stay tuned :) Last updated: 2006-09-29 12:00 AM

Pro 4612 MA | Subject: RE: Bay State Half Marathon My version is "maybe next year I'll be good/fast enough to run the a 1/2 mary and kick up the pace after 10 miles". Nice job, Joanne, and thanks for hanging with us. |

Frugal Gear Geek 2199 having fun with the kids | Subject: RE: Bay State Half Marathon You may be fast, but your memmory seems to be fading  If I remember correctly you did run/race with us last year in the snow for a short 5 miles Nice job, and sorry you could not hang around any longer. I do understand, wet and cold for an extra 2 hours must have sucked for TAGP and DK |

Up at 5:45, had the usual Cheerios and blueberries and coffee. Left at 6:50 to pick up Tri team mate and drive to the race. Arrived at the arena (woo-hoo, indoor registration area, it was pretty chilly outside) and quickly found OnTheRun, who was doing is first mary, and DK and TGAP.
Not much, a bit of stretching and walking at to the start line. We ended up at the end of the pack!
