Notes
Took 1st place at my first half marathon in Dayton. Signed up on Monday this week bc I realized we had fall break so thought I’d take advantage of a race. 2nd place was 1:10:45. Felt good, temps were in the mid 40’s. Only fluids they had on the course was water which was a bummer. Out and back course, turnaround you had to come to a stop. Was with 2 other guys the first 3 miles and then split off from them. The wind on the way back was tough and I slowed down going into it. Pleased with it, but I know I could go faster if someone made a move. Felt like
a hard tempo. Would really like to hold this effort for twice the distance in 2 months. Splits below:
5:08, 5:16, 5:09, 5:13, 5:09, 5:16, 5:14, 5:17, 5:20, 5:16, 5:23, 5:29, 5:20
