It was the will of the universe that I not do hill strides today

Treadmill warm up

2nd half of run (the wet part)

Treadmill first half of run

8x6min, 1x10min tempo (4%, 6:18 pace) w/1min easy between reps

Much better race. All of my recent half marathons have been 69's so it's nice to get one back in the 68's.

I executed my race plan well, too. I wanted to take out just a little conservatively, around 5:15, then ramp it up over the next few miles and hopefully settle in around 5:10 pace. That pace felt very comfortable and I just tried to tick off the miles until around mile 9 it started to get difficult. I tried to make a move for 2nd during the 11th mile and I managed to open up a gap, but he managed it well and reeled me back in during the 12th mile and ran away from me in the 13th as I was tying up. The last couple of miles were a bit slow, but they had some turns and maybe a little slight net uphill, so maybe not as bad as it seems.

Overall, I am relieved to have a reasonably good race performance. But my legs are hurting now. My calves were starting to cramp at the end of the race, as they like to do.
