Berkeley, you lucked out with yesterday's weather. 😇

1.5 warmup, 6 x 1 mile with 1/4 mile jog rest in between, 1.5 cooldown;

goal was GMP - 10 sec - 5 sec watch bloat - 10 sec hill compensation, actual varying wildly with +0:30/-0:30 level wind but on target for the average (7:24/7:06/6:27/6:59/6:34/6:25, 6:49 average); so concludes another Hanson's sequence that was the best ever by a hair 🤞;

Berkeley pedants, I noticed people's mileage from yesterday on the shorter side (13.1x), some even ducking below the 13.11 miles needed for the Strava PR.  In general, one should be a little over (high 13.1x, low 13.2x) but not excessively over (high 13.2x, 13.3x) for a Half race.  I overlayed the GPS traces of the four years that I've run (2019, "2021" in Feb 2022, 2023, 2024), plus proxy PMW's 13.15mi route from yesterday and a few friends from Nov 2022.  Aside from the expected traffic diversion differences, the Berkeley Marina turnaround was shorter/presumably correct in three years (2019, 2024, 2025) and longer in two years ("2021" in Feb 2022, 2023) and even shorter in Nov. 2022.  Maybe 2 x 150 feet is about 20-25 seconds at my usual paces.
