]]> Terrys_85_Toy http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/blog.php?b=281 Ran my 1st 1/2 Marathon http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/blog.php?b=269 Mon, 28 Mar 2011 13:02:09 GMT 3/27/2011 - Citizen's Bank Caesar Rodney Half Marathon - Wilmington, DE

The weather had me worried as the forecast was calling for a mix of snow & rain and 30* at race time. By 9:30, the sun was out and the temps were perfect, so with that situation averted...

Tagtime: 1:56:52, Guntime: 1:57:21
Average pace 8:56 mile
Halfway split: 55:39 (8:30 pace first 1/2, 9:21 pace 2nd 1/2)
714th out of 1316 finishers
492nd out of 780 males
82nd out of 114 in my age group (35-39)

The whole event went much better than planned. I've been training at a 10 m/m pace with a goal of finishing by 2:10. And ultimately I wanted a sub 2 hour finish. Not only did I meet those goals, but I exceeded them with a minute faster overall pace and beating my finish time by 3 minutes. I couldn't have been happier.

And for those curious as to why my split times increases so much the 2nd half of the race, it was due to the hills. From mile 6 up through mile 9 was a continuous climb (3 & 4%). I have nothing like that to train on back in the flats of Dover.

Steam rises from the boiling water like zeppelins rising in a chaotic order of condensed sanity, all armed for war. The battle of entropy, shatters and re-shatters and shapes and molds and destroys the zeppelins into the invisible. The fragile existence of the states of matter, are nothing short of life by vicarious observation. The plasmatic vision shall lance the soul of time. Frozen like the oblivious in the mind of kelvin, poised forever in destruction a single beauty in an ordered chaos. Watch and you may see what there is. ]]> ItsaCJ6 http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/blog.php?b=254 Pirate4x4.com rockcrawls Maui! http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/blog.php?b=220 Wed, 26 May 2010 21:24:41 GMT
