Race with Arnold my brother-in-law. Rainy morning about 60 degrees.  Actually a nice day for a race. 3589 half marathon runners. race also included a quarter marathon and a 5k.  This was the first race that I've ran that closed an interstate for the course.  The first 4 miles were on I-794 crossing a bridge.  kind of interesting.  also, the best seeding I have ever had. I was number 14.  I figured somebody just made a mistake.  I don't get two digit numbers.

 Mile 1: (elevation 590ft to 840ft). Going over the Hoan Bridge. I started right up on the start line behind Ronald Mcdonald on a scooter and some dog mascot.  Lead pack went out very quickly I was showing a 5:50 pace for the first half mile while climbing.  I knew this was not my pace so I tried to settle into a 6:35 as planned.  6:39

 

Mile 2:(840 to 700)still a light rain with wind in our face.  settling in a bit.  6:23

Mile 3: (700 to 596 then back to 700ft) Off ramp, water stop and On ramp to head back over the bridge.  I took a gel shot and some water.  One of the runners (Todd) that was behind me caught up and I started talking to him.  He was about my age. He was looking to run a sub 90min half.  We ran together for a while. 6:37 (20:04 5k)

Mile 4: (700 to 814) Climbing the bridge. Todd is with me.  he was looking to settle into a 6:45, so we did. 6:46.

Mile 5: (814 to 8:40 then down to 700) Over the bridge and down the back side.  Still running with Todd.  Approaching the crowd down town.  6:40

Mile 6:  (700 to 593)  Todd and I parted ways as I was looking to run a little faster.  Nice kick of the back side of the bridge. Rain has stopped. 6:25/ 41:03 10k

Mile 7:  (593 to 661)  a good little hill going into a park.  a light wind has been at our backs now since mile 3.  I up the effort for the hill.  Those who know me know that I'm a slow climber.  6:55

Mile 8: (661 to 671)  Not a whole lot of elevation change, but there were five rolling hills with the last one gaining 30 ft.  Todd catches up with me and we talk for a bit.  there was a pack of 4 runners that pass us.  6:55

Mile 9:  (671 to 599) We are now coming out of the park and will be heading back toward downtown along Lake Michigan.  There is a decent breeze in our face now.  I decide to tag along with the pack that passed us.  Todd fades off for the last time.  6:26

Mile 10: (flat) The rest of the race is flat along the shore line.  6:31and 1:06:31 for 10 miles

Mile 11: 6:38

Mile 12: 6:29

Mile 13: 6:19

Last 5k 20:21

Awesome race, Nathan! Fantastic on the last 5k!! Sounds like the course was hilly, so I'm guessing this equates to about 1:25:XX on flat? :) great job.
