Who is doing the SJ Rock 'n Roll Half?

Anyone from the boards doing this race on Sunday? I signed up for it and now I'm a little nervous because I haven't been able to run like I wanted to just prior to it.

Anyway, we should get together before or after the race and say Hi!

 I will be there.  5th year running it.  Assigned to Corral #8.  My lowest one yet lol

I'm in corral 14. I don't remember which one I was in two years ago but I put in a much slower predicted completion time this time so I assume it was higher!

 Sent ya a PM w/ my number

I texted you at the start but dumb AT&T rejected it because I didn't put a 1 in front of the number. How lame is that?

I'll be rooting for you! So wanted to do it this year but the hernia had other ideas. Surgery last week, got the panni removed too. Thighs and butt/lower back tomorrow. Next year I'll meet you there!

I'm jealous of the PS. But not the hernia. 

So I had no idea what my finishing time would be. I figured it would be anywhere from 2:30 to 3:00 with 2:45 being most likely, 3:00 meaning my leg really hurt and I had to walk a lot, and 2:30 being pretty close to impossible but worth considering.

I started in the 2:30 corral and that worked beautifully. We were all running about the same pace out of the gate. I did start to get passed after the first mile or so but we were more spread out by then. Two years ago when I did this race, I started in a pretty slow corral and I spent the first couple of miles dodging slow people. So I was happy to not have that experience this time.

I walked the aide stations and put some topical goop on my bad leg at each one. In the second half of the race, I had to also do some stretching of the calf. I also did one "medicine" break at the 9 mile mark (so in between the 8 and 10 mile aide stations) but I also skipped the last aide station so it worked out.

At one point, naer the end, after a break to smear goop, I saw the 2:45 pace group in front of me. They passed me at the aide station since they ran through it. I wasn't happy and saw my 2:45 time going out the window, but I was able to catch them easily once I started running again and I didn't see them for the rest of the race.

Ran the 2nd 5 miles slightly slower than the first 5 but I just poured it on for the last 3 miles and more than made up for it.

Finished in 2:38:08

 Sucks about lame AT&T! We'll have to meet another time.

Good job considering the injury.  

I didn't do as well as I hoped, but still finished in 2:19:54 which is a PR for this course for me, but not a PR overall

I hadn't broken 2:23 in my previous races.  Stomach didn't cooperate so that cost me about 4 minutes.  My foot injury also flared up at Mile 11 and gutted it out at the end.

My results

Overall: 5302 out of 9831 · Division: 543 out of 777 · Gender: 3143 out of 4415

They had splits up earlier, but I don't see them now, bummer
