St Louis Half Marathon

28th Annual St Louis Half Marathon, starting in Clayton, running to and around Forest Park, then back. Very nice weather out, was around 55F at the start, partly cloudy, a bit of a breeze, around 65F at the finish time. 13.15 miles according to the Garmin in 2:02:14, bettered my best half marathon by over 10 minutes. Felt good most of the run, course was fairly hilly but I guess I can tolerate hills for a half marathon, didn't feel too bad by the end. I was pushing it a bit, with my overall AHR being 168, last 4 miles were 171, 169, 173 and 174, with 175 over the last .15 miles. I felt like I could push it more, but didn't want to over do it with Memphis coming up in 20 days. Splits were 9:48, 9:12, 8:51, 9:11, 9:07, 9:57 (gu mile), 8:50, 9:26, 9:12, 8:56, 9:50 (shot bloks mile), 9:17, 9:15 and 8:27 pace for the last bit. Course can be found here - Garmin pace of 9:17, official pace of 9:20. Results here.
