Notes
This was my third time pacing an event, but my first time pacing a half marathon.
I came in just a tad too fast, but it was extremely hard to judge the hills (click on the maps tab for elevation) as evidenced by that way too fast first mile, which was likely a result of fresher than fresh legs from not running for a week.
Eventually, I settled in and came in just under my 1:50 goal. I am not sure where that 8:06 last mile came from, probably that last downhill I guess, but it screwed up my overall pace. My target was 8:25.
As it is, it was not all that bad. I enjoy pacing and will look to continue as it is something I am becoming known for in the local running scene.
