Race: Seymour Half Marathon (13.109 Miles) 01:58:52, Place overall: 42, Place in age division: 1
Slow milesFast milesTotal Distance
0.000.000.00

Pace: 9:04

Conditions:

  • 58°
  • Rain and drizzles the entire race
  • Intermittent wind gusts 10 to 15 mph

Observations:

  • This race provided pacers during the entire race. I stayed with the 2 hour pacer. He informed me that he was going to pace his racers to run 9:00 to 9:05 minute miles.
  • I stayed with him the entire race.
  • At mile 12.5 he informed our small remaining group that we would finish at 1:59:30 if we continued this pace. 

Take Away:

  • I need a pacer!!!!!
  • I missed a PR by 30 seconds, but I felt great the entire race - no mental distress, no extreme fatigue, no leg cramps, no overly fast start, energy to sprint to the finish
  • I need to figure out how to use my watch so I know my pace at each mile or get a fitbit that tells me my pace at each mile. I have NEVER run a race where I kept a steady pace before.
