good PR! Chicago Rock n' Roll Half Marathon 13.1 mi 01:47 08:08 pace

I haven't PR'd a half in nearly two years, so I was thrilled with this time (1:46:39) - a PR by 5:08! Went down to the race site with my enemy Kevin C. (who placed 14th OVERALL) at 5:30am. Nervous, but hopeful for a great race. Ran with Connie the entire race. As C+C Running Factory, we were prepared to beat Jeff H. by a decent margin.

Weather was better than I expected. The humidity wasn't oppressive and the drizzle was welcoming. I got stronger & faster as I ran against the wind going north during the last ~2-3 miles. I got to see my coach Kevin G. three times! He shouted excellent tips and encouragement. I was sad that David P. did not high-five me since he was too busy filming runners after mile 11 :(

I'm super happy with my placement!!
Overall = 1554/15259
Females = 407/9480
AG = 51/1355

Splits were pretty consistent
5k = 25:13
10k = 50:26
10M = 1:21:34

Fun post-race meetup with: Kevin C. , Jeff H. , Sara B. , Sue G. , Edward S. , Jenny P. , Charles F. , Francesco S. , Tony L. , Kevin G. , Laura S. , Danielle M. , Daniel M. , Renee H. . Ashleigh B. , Michael G. ... I hope I didn't miss anyone! Great job everyone! And thanks for the cookies, Ed :)
