Was my 2nd time running this race. And was my PR last time I did it at 1:42:35. So I have been looking forward to coming back and doing this one again to beat my time. I also went and ran this with my father and this would be his first half. The temp was great for this starting out at 56 and at the end was 70. So just perfect conditions. It started at 6am so everything was going great. Was shooting for a 6:50 to 7:10 pace but hoping for a 7.
