Notes
Presque Isle Half Marathon. 3d in 40-44 age group. Hot. Humid. Shoulda started up toward the front a bit more. Went out too fast, but considering my lack of training, the week I had and this leg issue, I am quite pleased. 2nd had a 7:04 pace. 1st had a 6:50/1 pace. Got a plaque & wifebeater tank top. Jumped in Lake Erie afterward. Fun.
30/31 overall of 558 finishers: Top 6 percent.
Look what I wrote last year: "Did it. Felt great. Could have picked it up a bit around 7-8 or 8-9, but forced self to slow and talk with a guy. Still, would say I left it all on the track."
Then: 75th of 579. 13th in age group w/ 7:19 pace. Think last year's weather was better.
Suck it, old me!
Oh, and "Garmin says ..." 13.2 miles, 7:01 pace. FWIW. Of course, if the course is a tad long, this shouldn't change order of finish. We'd just all be a tad faster.
