fun race.. enjoyed it more than a 5k. but I tried to just stay relaxed throughout .. so that probably explains it. Once I start pushing halfs harder, it'll probably get alot rougher.
**btw** don't trust my HR data. it's wrecked. very inaccurate when i'm sitting around resting etc.. it's way off.
also, warmup was fun. Saw Mason Elliot (crazy fast dude, got 4th in this race), and we (and a few others) ran ~3 miles to the start. I was supposed to take a bus to the start ... but the line was like, 300 people. So when I saw him I immediately asked how do I get to the start and he's like, "we're going to run there", and I was relieved.. i'd rather run 3 miles than wait in line for 40 minutes. LMFAO.
DON'T TRUST THE HR DATA. it's WRECKED.Yesterday and today, my resting HR was often over 100, but manual testing had it sub 50 .. maybe my arms are too hairy for this optical HR monitoring bullshit. Anyway, there's no way my HR was that high, I was relaxing. lmfao.
Lots of people are telling me that's a solid first half race. Who knows, but i'm happy about it.
The last mile is considerably better because, the 3rd place female passed me and I just said nahhhhh, and went out in front of her and made sure she didn't pass again.
Prior to that, I had started coasting a bit. Most of this race I was on my own, due to how weird I pace. Leaving packs, not being able to hang with other packs, etc.
Anyway, I was like #8 or #9 OA at 10k.. lmfao.
