I ran my first half marathon yesterday. The start was a disaster, i didn't cross the start line until over a minute after the gun, then the course was too narrow to easily pass people for ages. 13minutes to get through the 2km mark. WTF?! I hit the 10km marker in 57minutes (basically walking pace) and decided to start passing people. The next 11.1km i went a little faster (53minutes) and passed a few slow people. So, a mediocre time but it felt great to get it done. And my legs had heaps left at the end. I'm going to do some training now and run another one in a few weeks. Cutting 7minutes off my time would be cool, so target is 1hr43'. That would set me up to run something a little faster early next year.
I played a simple nit session at 50nl this morning (below). Simple nit sessions are good for reminding me of ABC. I should start mixing in more 100nl before month-end.
