Half Marathon Result

1:32:15. 8th overall, 2nd in my AG. Two loops on a winding trail. Easily the most unique surface I've ever run on. At times it felt like sand or grass. Almost bog like. A beautiful course around an urban lake.
Satisfied with the time, happier with the effort. Passed a guy to take 2nd AG in the chute in sight of the finish. Got passed by no one. On this day, on that course, I couldn't have pushed any harder.
Garmin died sometime in the second loop. I had stopped looking at it and won't know exactly when until I upload the data. Blessing in disguise maybe.
More later.

did you rip off your visor and throw it when you made your move? I hope so!

but beth says she would have crushed you in her patented finish chute move!
sounds like a good surface to run on.
