Quivering Quads Trail Half Marathon

Quivering Quads Half Marathon in Cuivre River State Park near Troy, MO. It was in the mid 30s, windy, but at least it wasn't running. The creeks and stream along the course were fairly dry, but the trail itself was quite muddy. Fun race, will likely do it again. Started off running with Bob the first 2 miles or so, but then I got ahead of him a bit and was mostly running by myself, following someone for a while, and then either passing them or falling back a bit and then following someone else. I got a bit tired near the end, but not too bad, and managed not to fall or trip. 13.1 miles in 2:35:56, 11:54 average pace, 164 AHR. Splits were 10:09, 11:17, 11:47, 12:04, 11:52, 12:06, 13:11, 12:21, 10:58, 11:52, 12:49, 12:50, 12:15. I didn't stop the garmin after crossing the finish, so no ending split, but I picked up the pace a little at the end as the end was in sight. After finishing, got changed, then waited for Judy. She had taken a wrong turn along the course, but eventually got back on the course and finished. Judy, Bob and I then went to Denny's for some post race 'breakfast'.
