I just missed my goal of sub 1:36 but I still finished the Gasparilla half in a new PR of 1:37:15.  I had something left at the end but I’m not sure it was enough to have run 1:15 faster.   I still have a long way to go but when I set a PR after almost every race I know I’m doing something right.

Overall it was another well run race. The start temp was in the low 50’s which is about perfect for me.  There was a little headwind when running north on Bayshore to the finish but it probably didn’t affect my time more than a few seconds.

I'm starting my 5k training now. 2 days after my half marathon and the legs felt great. I ran 2.5 of my 4.5 at 5k pace.
