Running 15:31 [3] 2.0 mi (7:45 / mi)
shoes: Brooks Defyance 3 (2)
Warm up. Made the 40 minute drive north to take advantage of the clear sunny morning to run my last 'pace' run at the 22nd ORRRC 'Xenia' Half Marathon, part of the oldest (44th running) Marathon in Ohio.
Running tempo 1:28:57 [4] 13.1 mi (6:47 / mi)
shoes: Brooks Racer ST 4 (Yellow 3)
Delivered my commitments across the board by averaging between 6:45 - 6:50 and not getting sucked into 'race mode'. Over 500 finishers in the half and up to 200 in the full. This race is another classic in the style of Nookachamps...
