Tom's Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon
Virginia Beach - Results
I did my first Half marathon recently in Virginia Beach!! The weather was great in the low 80's and low humidity.
I started back a few corrals with a friend that was running as well. This caused me to be a bit slower in the beginning of the race than I wanted I suppose. (Might have been a good thing.) I also took a pee break and stopped at too many water stops. I crossed the finish line with a chip time of 2:08:04.
I am still pretty happy with my time even though I have done better in my long training runs for my full marathon in November. I set a personal goal of 2:15 for my first half so I made it!
I do the Philadelphia Distance Run Half in 2 weeks too and I hope to get my Personal Record (PR) in around 2:05.
Here are my splits. I did notice I needed to step it up and was not pushing myself hard enough and did a few negative splits the last few miles.

I send thanks to this board for all the tips I have received as I have become a "runner" post WLS. Here are a few pics.
Cheers!
