race report: IU mini marathon 2012!
Apr. 1st, 2012 04:30 pmYou're probably wondering about how fast people run a half marathon in Bloomington. Pretty fast! Lindsey ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lindseykuper and Chris chrisamaphone and I raced it, along with lots of other people. (including the BARA running group, some of whom were out to race, and some to spectate and cheer!)
I hit a personal best, at 1:33:24, just 32 seconds faster than my previous quickest half, but 3:33 faster than my previous showing on the same course, which is pretty hilly.
The weather was really beautiful for racing: overcast and cool. I went out a little bit faster than I should have (6:28), but then settled in to running around 7:15s, with a few miles at quicker than 7:00s. I'm not very good at maintaining consistent speed; overall, this was about 7:08 pace. But my kick at the end was at 6:10 pace, yeahh! (I have the splits due to my new gps watch, which is pretty slick)
Complete results here!
Oh yeah, and this was worth 3127 points on Fitocracy, which remains fabulous, and if you like Internets and working out, or just working out, I think you should consider getting on this site :)
