Today I participated in NYRR half-marathon grand prix in Manhattan.
This was my first race of this year and the first one since the NYC marathon last year.
The course was 2 whole loops of the Central Park and 1.1mile.
The result was…
0- 1 7’01” / 7’01”
1- 2 7’07” / 14’08”
2- 3 6’47” / 20’55”
3- 4 6’49” / 27’44”
4- 5 6’57“/ 34’41”
5- 6 6’58” / 41’39”
6- 7 6’51” / 48’30”
6- 7 6’51” / 48’30”
7- 8 7’10” / 55’40”
8- 9 7’01 / 1:02’41”
9-10 6’58” /1:09’39”
10-11 7’10” / 1:16’49”
11-12 7’28” / 1:24”17
12-13 7’21” / 1:31’38”
12-13 7’21” / 1:31’38”
13-13.1 0’53 / 1:32’31”
It was obvious that I picked up my pace too much in the first half and got exhausted in the second half. I knew that I ran too fast during the first half and might slow down at the cat hill of the 2nd loop. I did slow down there.
Actually I did not think about my pace management today; I just ran. Exactly speaking, it was too cold for me to think about the pace. I thought that I would finish around 1:35.
So 1:32’31” was much better than expected.
I think it was fine race as my first one of the year.
Next race is half-marathon in Bronx in February. I would run better and break my PR at that time.

My weekly mileage was 30.2, which was 3.8 short of the target of this week. My target will be 34 again next week.
