Notes
Tom King Half Marathon: PR on a bad day.
Was really cold and wet. I started way too fast. Got carried away by the fast guys. I looked at my Garmin at about 200 yds and I was doing a 5:40 pace. That was stupid. I slowed down but not enough. First mile was 6:33, then 6:48. 6:55. 6:56, 6:59 and so on. Felt great for 7 miles then started to wear down on me. Feet got wet and a big blister on my left 2nd toe, also some bad chaffing but I really did not know it until after the race was over.
The last 3 miles was hard, witht he last one being at 7:25 pace. I must learn not to go out too fast.
Overall, I am tickledt o death with the results, my goad was a 7:00 pace or 1:31:42 so I got close.
