Finished the Hyannis Half Marathon today in 1:35:06. I ran some pretty even splits with my fastest mile 6:54 (mile 13) and slowest 7:25 (mile 1). I think the course has a messed up measurement because I came through mile 13 at the end of a 6:54 mile and was picking up the pace down a slight decline and finished the last 100 yds in a sprint. Either the marathon course is too short (by .04) or the half marathon is too long (by .04).
In any case it was a good run. A PR by 11:20 for a HM race, but actually about 6 mins because I went through the half in 1:41:18 at Baystate last year.
Mile Split Heart Rate
1 7:25 164
2 7:10 161
3 7:15 164
4 7:16 166
5 7:20 166
6 7:21 166
7 7:20 166
8 7:22 170
9 7:13 169
10 7:02 169
11 7:14 167
12 7:18 169
13 6:54 177
End 8:10 179
Nice day for a run. Clear, sunny and 31 with very little wind even near the ocean. Nice course as it is pretty flat with a couple small hills around mile 5 and 8, 9 and downhill from about 9.5 to 11.5. Some quick up and downs throughout the rest of the course. There were a lot more people out around the course this year.
Oh, and a big FU to the guy who was burning leaves at the edge of his yard right at the 8 mile mark which is at the top of the only real hill on the course. |

Nice PR, Joe.
Hey, no matter how you look at it - 6 minutes or 11 minutes - they're both considered a totally smashed PR in my book. |

| Nice job on the PR! It ended up being a great day for a run if you hadnt over-dressed for it. |

It was a nice day. I went out for my warmup and decided against wearing shorts because I was concerned about wind near the ocean. I dressed pretty light and it was perfect. The sections of the course in the sun were actually pretty warm. |

For a three miler this past Sunday afternoon, I had to run past a truly foul diesel pickup that somebody was warming up on the street. That was bad enough, burning leaves at the top of a hill at mile eight bites. You have to hope the guy is just clueless, not malicious.
Nice job on the race, that's a great time!
