Ran Well and only had 1 or 2 bad miles. (10-11) Finish was strong and was able to pick off a lot of folks.

Final Hill over the Freeway was a killer though.

What would you do differently?:

I was very happy with the results

Post race

Warm down:

Space Blanket, Water and short walk to the car.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Overall Fitness.

This was by far my best Half Marathon of the 4 that I did this Fall/Winter Season. I have only been focused on running for about 4 months now. (Since the end of Tri Season in September)

Event comments:

I will be back next year to run the Full Marathon.

The RD seems very committed to erasing previous history and making this a world class event someday.

This is my home turf and I will surely be back to run again.
