Notes
That's my official time for the RnR Half. For 13.1 miles the average pace is 6:58. I missed the start, in part because I just arrived too late for such a big event, and in part because the bag trucks were a fiasco. Anyway, I ended up starting with wave 7 or 8. So everyone around me was running way slower than my for the entire race, and I also didn't get any warm up. It took a lot of extra effort to try to swerve around people and keep up a non-slow pace, but running fast was flat impossible. I was still pretty tired, though, and am somewhat sore afterwards. The bag fiasco continued after the race. It's not worse foreswearing all RnR events in the future, though I won't jump at them, and I'll be sure to arrive more than an hour early for all big events in the future. At least 1:30, but maybe more than that as well. It's worth it.
