Notes
THIS WAS MY FIRST HALF MARATHON. IT WAS EN EXTREMELLY HOT DAY WITH NOT MUCH SHADE. IT WAS VERY HILLY. PEOPLE WHO HAD RAN THIS EVENT PREVIOUSLY BEFORE THE ROUTE HAD BEEN CHANGED FOUND THE HILLS DEMANDING. NEEDLESS TO SAY I FOUND THEM A CHALLENGE. I WAS NEVER GOING TO MAKE A GREAT TIME DUE TO THE HEAT AND HILLS. CAROL STRUGGLED AFTER THE 6 MILE MARK AND IT WAS MORE IMPORTANT TO ENCOURAGE AND SLOW DOWN FOR HER THAN TO MAKE A RECORD TIME. THIS HAS NOT PUT ME OFF I AM READY FOR THE NEXT ONE. I AM NOW MORE PREPARED AND WILL ALTER MY TRAINING AND PUT MORE INTO MY TRAINING TO MAKE A BETTER TIME. I AM VERY PROUD OF MY EFFORT AND MY TIME.
