Well, I made the switch. Shortened my name.
1:26:42 officially this am. Which would be awesome, but I think course was short. According to my Garmin, I ran 12.97. If you exrapolate the pace over 13.1, it is approximately 1:27:34. That would be a 20 sec PR -- on a far tougher (hillier, multiple turns, some cobblestone) course. 3rd in AG (45-49).
So the really f'd up part? About 5 minutes in we start hear "turn around, wrong way." They misdirected leaders (top 100 or so), so we had to double back. A lot of talent/top guys just bagged it.
Very pleased with results, I ran strong.

The variations align w/ hills. More later.
Wahoo. Very nice Dad. Can we still call you Dad?
Nice splits and a PR is a PR. Time for holiday seasons then getting ready for Barstow.
D4JCZ (which is much harder to type than Dad): Well done on the half! That's crazy on misdirecting the leaders!
Hi to everyone!
Ran my last race of 2012 this morning, hoping to improve on a 5K PR that is more than a year old (19:47 in November 2011). No idea what to shoot for on this as I haven't been doing any speedwork. So, I decided to run this by heart rate to see what would happen.
Splits were...
1K: 3:49 (slightly fast start to get the HR up to around 170)
2K: 3:573K: 3:56
4K: 3:52
5K: 3:43 (I was at my limit by this point, but managed a strong finishing sprint anyway)
Time: 19:17 (a 30-second PR)
Overall place: 12th
Age group place (40-49): 1st (there are quite a few really fast people in my age group in these parts, but apparently none of them decided to show up this morning.)
So....hi.
I'm originally from RWOL, lurking in 3:20 in RWOL, but hanging out actively with the cool cats in 3:30. I didn't (still don't) have a problem there, but it turns out I've been keeping a running log here from a while back, so I've updated it. I'm 45, ran 3:21 a couple months ago and have had a hell of a time getting back into the swing of things (bronchitis followed by calf problems). But it looks like it's getting better now.
I ran 7 miles @8:30 and felt great. Finally!
OMR - +1 on 'gifted'. Oh, and also on the PR. I can't get it under 20 for love nor money.

Dad - smoking fast half in my book! Congrats on the PR and bummer on the course screw up. Is it really that hard to start everyone in the right direction??!!
Omar - congrats to you as well! Great 5k time and AG win!!
RTI - gifted indeed I see.....
Runbo - no more lurking
12.3 this morning, man I'm way off from where I need to be beginning the 23rd....
Time to go watch some foosball
that half has a history of course issues. which is amazing cause it was only the second year.
think i might run tomorrow. not sure how far.
It's 4:34AM, it's raining, the wind is cracking and I'm coughing up green gunk. Sounds like a perfect PR day to me. Time to head for the bus. Wahoo!
Leave it to RDR to get booted the first day. But you really do give great dance lessons.
