Snow Cyn Half Marathon

Ran it well, lots of down hill, and a PR! My goal was a 1:30 and I hit the goal for a change. I felt I could have ran it faster, but as always, I worry too much about being too sore for next weeks workouts. The last half of the race was rollers of every variety.

Mile SPlits: 6:39, 6:54, 6:42, 6:16, 6:07, 6:17, 6:43, 7:48, 6:53, 7:08, 7:21, 7:15, 7:08

My slowest mile split was due to me standing in front of a port-a-potty wondering if I should use it or not... I choose not!  My 10K pace was a 40:20

Rode bikes with Cathy, Craig, Jamie and Breanna.  We tried to stay on flat ground so we were spinning more than working our sore muscles too much. We did 31.5 miles in 1:40 at a 18.5 mph average.

Wow great job Ben. However, the report lost some of its luster because in the back of my mind I just can't get over the fact that you never reported on LAS VEGAS RAGNAR!!! :P

I reported on ragnar... Maybe the detail was lacking, but I was in a line for the computer at the hotel. You were the highlight of my ragnar!!! :D

Ah, I missed it. You didn't mark it as a race. Which it's not. But still.

It didn't feel like a race, that's probably why I didn't check it.

By the way, I missed qualifying for New York Marathon by 18 seconds... :D
