Awesome job, Jay!!! I’m not surprised at all. You’ve worked your ass off and you’re seeing the dividends!
If you can talk casually during a half though, speed up!
This! I am definitely not up to chatting it up at half marathon pace. Congrats on the great race!
Interesting. I would think if you can't talk during the first half of your race you'd be in trouble. This was only my 3rd HM so I don't have a ton of experience.

Great job, Jay!!! You trained hard and ran a smart race. Congrats on the AG win!! And 6th OA - that's awesome!
Clearly, you nailed it, so there is nothing wrong with how you raced. You killed that bitch, it's all positive. I was just razzin' you a little bit.
I'm not a talker during races. Physically I could, I just don't. I also don't draft, or like it when someone is using me to draft. It's all personal preference though.
You had a great race, a helluva one in fact! That should be the focus, hell, if you talked even more, you might've run even faster. lol
You would be cause you'd be below 1/2 effort. Some people like to talk, some people don't. The last half you notice there is not much talking for most people that are competitive.

Really great race Jay. You put in a lot of work, you earned this so hard. Hope the celebrating is still going strong, and that you enjoyed the hell out of the fat man dinner, lol
