Galveston Mardi Gras Half Marathon 13.19 mi 02:41 12:12 pace

My first half marathon! It was ugly weather, about 50 degrees, windy, and raining. Other than that, it was a good race. I was pretty happy with my pace and nutrition. I stuck to my plan pretty well, just adjusted a bit for lots of headwind. If it wasn't for the weather, I'd be super happy with it. My legs were pretty fried by mile 10, but I tried to kick it up for the last 5K. I didn't have a whole lot left, but I did what I could. Waiting on the official time, this is from my Garmin but it is a little long since I forgot to hit Stop right when I crossed the line. Donna and Cassie were right there to greet me, which was really cool.
