13.1 in 1:33:03
Not realy a race but more a time trial. I ran a 1/2 marathon on this course last year and enjoyed it so much I decided to do irt again this year. Sadly, the race was not scheduled again. This is an interesting course. First half is super flat and fast. I averaged 6:40's for the first 7 befor the hills started and kicked my butt! There are 2 realy tough hills. The one at mile 7 is 3/4 of a mile long and steep, and the one at mile 12. The one at twelve is shorter but steeper. You feel like you're walking as you climb it. Good news is I found a second gear for the final mile and finished up with a 6:08. Surprised myself. No negative split here today. I obviously need some more hill work. |
