Notes

Chambersburg Half Marathon. Rolling country roads with a few challenging hills

Ran most of the race with Ralph, then picked up the pace for the last 2.1 miles

Splits (I was a little late marking some):

1-8.58, 2-8.54, 3-9.09, 4-8.33, 5-8.51, 6-8.44, 7-8.52, 8-9.19, 9-9.35, 10-9.22 ,11-9.27, 12-7.40, 13-8.12 (1.1)

My goal was sub 2 hours and to get a good measure of fitness for a marathon in 6 or 7 weeks.

Was not sure I could manage the 9 min miles throughout that I wanted to try, but was pleased with the results. Picked up the pace nicely to the finish. Average pace over 11 miles was 9:05. Mile 12 at 7:40 pace, last 1.1 at 7:28 pace.
