This was my first half, so I didn’t have any expectations. It was 31C that day and I had to start walking around the 14k mark. They were packing up the pylons behind me. By the time I got to the finish line the party was over. I lost by a good 20 minutes behind the next runner. There was a huge hill. A bunch of people missed the start because they didn’t really announce it. I don’t think I’ll do this one again.
