Virginia Beach Half Part 2 - Race Day!

The weather was great in the low 80's and low humidity.

I started back a few corrals with a friend that was running as well. This caused me to be a bit slower in the beginning of the race then I wanted I suppose. (might have been a good thing) I also took a pee break and stopped at to many water stops. I cross the finish line with a chip time of 2:08:04.



I am still pretty happy with my time even though I have done better in my long training runs for my full marathon in November. I set a personal goal of 2:15 for my first half so I made it!

I do the Philadelphia Distance Run Half in 2 weeks to I hope to PR and get in around 2:05.

Here are my splits. I did notice I needed to step it up and was not pushing myself hard enough and did a few negative splits the last few miles.
