Well I finished my first half marathon. I am happy that I finished but I'm not really that happy with how I finished the race. I did very well for the first 10 miles. I was maintaining a 8:43 pace for the first 10 miles and then for some reason hit a wall shorty after the 10 mile marker. I ended up finishing the race with a 9:17 a mile pace. My goal was to run a sub 2 hour half and I was 55 seconds over finishing with 2:00:54. I now know what I need to work on to improve my next half. I feel that the last two weeks my have been the cause of the last 3 miles. I haven't been able to run my training plan as needed because of the guard. I had a 4 day drill in the field which caused me not to be able to do one of my long runs. Oh well I finished and thats all that matters. Just have to improve the next time.
