Notes
Red, White, and Boom! TC Half Marathon
Not much WU beforehand. Weather was warm and humid. Wore tech-T, red shorts, and cap. Went out too fast because I was following the 1:45 pacer. Need to learn to run my own race. Rain started about 3 miles in, and was quite heavy at times. Quickly became waterlogged. Rain wasn't so bad, though. Hills from mile 6 to mile 8 were kinda nasty, though. I think my nutrition strategy worked ok. Right calf went kaput precisely at the 12 mile marker. Anything faster than a 9'00" pace would cause it to cramp. Had to hold my pace right on the edge for the last mile.
Happy with performance, and I realize that the conditions just weren't right for getting a 1:45.
