My first (official) half marathon!

The day was finally there where I competed in a half marathon race for the first time. It was a real competition, with both excitement to start and some nerves about how it would go. Here is how it turned out:

As can be seen, the run was slightly longer than 21.1 kilometers. According to my watch, the time for the half marathon was 1.26:18. Quite happy with that!

Below, the times of the individual kilometers are shown. As can be seen, I started rather (a bit too?) quickly and slowly got around the intended pace of 4 minutes per kilometer. Unfortunately I lost the pace about 5 kilometers before the finish. At least I know where I can win a bit next time...

All in all it was a great experience. I even turned out to have won the third place medal in my category (M35), but I was long home by the moment the prize giving ceremony was held...
