Horrible race today. Worst half-marathon I've ever run. Don't wanna dwell on it, but i did start off very well. Felt comfortable the first couple miles. 6:03, 6:06, 6:09, 6:03, 6:16, 30:37 through 5 miles, then the wheels came off. Hit a 6:48 for the 6th mile and just completely fell apart. Felt like walking off the course and taking a DNF. had to struggle with that decision for the last 8 miles. Had a golden opportunity and almost took it but decided I would finish. Im glad I did in retrospect, because I am not a quitter. However, I basically jogged in and finished in 1:28:03, 6:43 pace...my worst half-marathon by 6 minutes. I have run faster than this in training. Moral of the story, sometimes you just dont show up and today i didnt. I think i am going to focus on shorter races...i felt great through 5...just had nothing after. Need to forget this one quickly.
