This was the worst half marathon I’ve ever run. I ran the first 5.5 miles of the race (which was downhill) at an 11min/mile pace, which is fast for me. I never saw the 2:45 or 2:30 pacers, they were so far ahead of me. Last time I checked with friends who are pacers, the purpose is to run that pace the whole race. I rely on them to keep me steady, not blow my wad in the first half.
Also – they ran out of water between the second and fourth water stations. Less than an hour into the race there was no water on the course until you hit the steep hill. By then, my race was over. My water bottle was empty and I was getting dehydrated. Some may say this is my fault. But I’ve done several half marathons by now and have never had one run out of water so quickly. Miles 10 – 13 after 2:30, maybe.
I will try this half again. I’m hoping this year was just a fluke. Maybe new pacers and not expecting it to be as warm as it was.
