BAA Half Results

Official Time: 1:51:34
Official Pace: 8:31

Last year's official finish time was 1:52:21, so that's a 47 second PR. Not spectacular by any means, but considering how tired I was in the week leading up to the race and the fact that I was visiting the bathroom every 5 mins in the half hour before I left the house on Sunday morning, I'll take it and be thankful for it.

I had a good race. The air was crisp (I wished I had worn gloves), the sun was shining, my legs felt strong and swift, my butt looked great in my shorts (according to my friend Lindsey) and all the hill training I did over the last few months kept me from ever really struggling. I also need to give a shout-out and huge congrats to Noah, who ran a 1:38:39, setting a 12 minute PR for himself over the last half he ran.

I would have loved to break 1:50, but there's always next year. And I'll post a few pics as soon as I get them from my parents. All in all, a successful race.
