Drove out to the outer banks on Friday evening. Did a short run on Saturday. The morning of the race I had a chocolate shakeology and got a ride to race about 15 minutes ahead of time

Light stretching.

Point to point race. First HM. Kept it slow and in control from the gun. Really focused on not going too fast. Started to pick up the pace at 4 and then again at 7 miles. Started pushing the last 3.1 miles. Although I ran the tangents I measured the course at 13.2 and my wife at 13.3.

Could have pushed a little harder

Walked around the post race activities

Fun race, well supported, and great location. Swag inclused long sleeve shirt, cup, hat, and free food and beer after the race
