The National @ Park Avenue Armory

Quite possibly my 14th or 15th National Concert and in one of the most haunting venues: the Park Avenue Armory.  Just glad to be one of the chosen few to be part of this experience...immediate and visceral!

2013 Long Island Half Marathon - 1:24:15/6:26

Chip Time: 1:24:15
Pace: 6:26
Rank: 30
Age Grade: 70.36%

Definitely not the best effort with almost 3 weeks post Boston; but got through stomach cramps from miles 4-8 (evident via splits).  Once the cramps subsided with a few sips of water per each water-stop, I was able to get back into the rhythm.  The last 4 miles could've been faster if I didn't have the nasty blisters under my left foot.  Overall, it wasn't the race that I expected, but will chalk it as a solid tempo effort

Splits:
01: 6:17:65
02: 6:14:04
03: 6:19:33
04: 6:28:63
05: 6:33:05
06: 6:28:81
07: 6:40:12
08: 6:38:58
09: 6:22:68
10: 6:21:90
11: 6:26:90
12: 6:21:53
13: 6:22:33
.1: 38:55
