Charlottesville Half Marathon

Charlottesville Half Marathon - ran with Blackbeard, Eyesore and Bullseye, very nice weather, but very tough course, up and down, up and down. Ran the whole way with Blackbeard, Eyesore started off faster but we passed him at some point when he was going to the bathroom and slowing down, and Bullseye had an 'emergency' bathroom stop and didn't ever catch back up, though he almost did. Splits for me were 10:47 (lots of uphill and of course fairly congested start), 10:02, 10:21, 9:51, 9:26, 10:47 (very steep and fairly long hill), 9:55, 9:45, 10:12, 10:13, 10:07, 9:52, 8:44 (down hill, BB was itching to go even faster), and 35 seconds for the final .07 miles (first marathon or half marathon where the garmin had less distance than 'official'). Really was a great time, but don't know if I'll do a half marathon during a gathering again, throws things off just a bit. Overall time was 2:10:43, pace of 9:59.
