Half Results

The final results are in from the Oak Brook Half Marathon, and I’m fairly happy with how it turned out. The course was nice, with mostly rolling hills, and a few pretty big hills to make it a bit tougher. I was able to stick to my pacing strategy of 7:30 for the first 10, and I picked it up for the last 5K to average 7:20/mi (1:36:01). My splits were:

Mile 1 – 7:14
Mile 2 – 7:24
Mile 3 – 7:24
Mile 4 – 7:31
Mile 5 – 7:36
Mile 6 – 7:29
Mile 7 – 7:30
Mile 8 – 7:24
Mile 9 – 7:30
Mile 10 – 7:15
Mile 11 – 7:10
Mile 12 – 7:06
Mile 13 – 6:55
Final 0.1 – 0:26

I finished 101st overall, and 5th in my age division. Full results are available here.
