I ran in Morgan Hill Half Marathon – my second one – on Sunday. It took me 2:10 hours to finish it. It was a minute longer than last year.
\nRace Highlights:
\n Pre-race nutrition: 1 cup of tea + 1 banana.
\n Strong start and consistent pace around 9:36 until mile 8.
\n In-race hydration: Good combination of 2 water stop (Mile 6, 11) and 1 Gatorade (Mile 9)
\nRace Lowlights
\n Mild to noticeable IBT
\n Walking-break and degraded pace of 11:22 between mile 11-12
\nTraining Highlights:
\n Consistent weekly mileage 15-16 miles and good taper
\n Race-day endurance\/pace mirrored closely with weekend long runs
\n Lower and different amount x-training (compared to previous year) did not affect adversely the pace, or introduce new injuries (switched-out bike rides with swims)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
