half marathon

rain stopped just in time and the trail was fine. weather was upper 50's and probably mid-60's at the end. Nearly perfect. I ran a great race and finished in 1:40:02 by my watch (1:40:08 officially).

there were trail mile marker but the race started (I later learned) at about mile 0.5. Anyway, I finally started to hit the lap on those. It was an out and back with the start at ~mile marker 0.5 and the turnaround just past mile marker 7. Didn't start splits for a while. Here are my splits

start at ~mile marker 0.5
mile marker 5, 34:02/176 (~4.5 miles, ~7:34 pace)
mile marker 6, 7:46/181 (marker 5 was beginning of very gradual uphill)
mile marker 7, 7:54/181
turnaround -- didn't hit lap but must have been ~50:08 interpolating
mile marker 7, 0:48/184 (gradual downhill after turnaround)
mile marker 6, 7:31/183
mile marker 5, 7:30/183
mile marker 4, 7:29/184 (flattens out)
mile marker 3, 7:38/184
mile marker 2, 7:43/183
mile marker 1, 7:48/183
finish, 3:48/185 (~0.5 miles, 7:36)
