Watarase Half Marathon

I run a half-marathon race this morning in 1:24:14.

While it was not really a heroic effort, it was certainly not bad.

 Within the first kilometer or so I tucked into the middle of a big pack of guys running 4 minutes per kilometer.  It felt like such a comfortable pace that I simply maintained this position for almost the entire 21.1 kilometers.  When the pack did split up at around 19k I did make a feeble effort to pickup speed, but after running the same pace for so long I could not seem to find the gear to speed up.  

It was encouraging to feel so comfortable 19 kilometers into a half-marathon given my level of training and how I felt prior to the event.

I even receive an Adidas running belt for my 4th place age-group place..
