Another race day. Today is the Manchester MA half marathon. It’s a somewhat flat route (or at least nothing like the Mad Marathon).
Results: a personal record! My previous best was 1:53:46 or so. Today’s time was 1:52:53 (pace 8:37). I started with pushing the pace a bit. I usually start slow. I passed the five mile point at about 43:00 and the seven mile point at right about an hour. Shock! I decided to push and try for a fast time. Today it worked. I was pretty tired at the end but it was worth it.
