Notes
Newport Half Marathon. I went in with a goal of 1:35, so I met that by a lot. I did it the hard way though, running the first 10 in about 6:58 pace. The last 3 miles were really rough, coming in at 7:20, 7:50, and 7:37 (big downhill to the finish). I felt absolutely horrible those last 3 miles, with a ton of nausea and my hip flexors just terribly tight. I feel reasonably confident that if I'd just run more responsibly in those first 10 miles, like maybe backing off to 7:05 or so, I could have run 1:33 or so.
Pretty good result despite the bad pacing. I wish I was in shape to go under 1:30, but given the injuries and tough training this winter, I'll take 1:34. It's 4 minutes faster than Cape Cod, so that's a win.
