2010 GIT Resolution Half Marathon

13Jan10

13.1 miles = a half marathon.

On January 2, 2010 I ran my first half marathon. The race basically ran from Travelers Rest to Furman University and back to Travelers Rest.

Overall, I was pleased with the race. The folks at the GIT YMCA did a great job with the event. The weather was simply COLD – 24 degrees with 10-15 mph wind gusts with a windchill of 14.

I probably ran the first 6 miles a little faster than I had planned the last 7 miles a little slower than planned.

My goal was to complete the run in 2 hours 15 minutes. My finish time was 2:13 – 2 minutes under my goal. This race was a good test run for the Myrtle Beach Dasani Half that I will run on February 13, 2010.

At the start. 0.1 miles done - 13.0 miles to go!!

Headed uphill to the finish. Oh yeah, it ended up 13.25 miles in length. Goal was 2:15:00. Did it in 2:13:15!
