Strawberry Plains HM
AG - 8. Overall male - 145. Overall - 216. Relative effort 62.
This was a fun half. I didn't have a firm goal, but I always want to finish sub-2. I did think, if I were feeling good, I would throw in some close to MP segments. I ran with Trinity who had a goal of running sub-2 in her first road HM. Danny started with Trinity and I but he pushed ahead in the early miles. I think this was his first HM as well. We caught Danny somewhere around mile 9 or 10 and we pushed on together. Soon after catching up with Danny, Antonella grabbed on to our pack. She was going for a PR of sub-1:56. It was fun to work with this group and hopefully help them finish strong and hit their marks. I think everyone was pleased with their performance.
My Boston marathon build up has me feeling pretty strong, but my calves are still an issue.
