So, let's see what the blogosphere has to say about yesterday's Brooklyn Half. Some snippets are below, as well as links to the blogs ... more as I locate them. And, as mentioned earlier, feel free to respond with your own comments.
From Timed Run: A Marathon Training Diary
The race horn sounded and, ready or not, I ran. I finished mile 1 at a quick yet relaxed 6:12 pace, but at mile 2 I felt two pinches in my stomach. Uh oh. ...
From rundangerously
The constant headwind on ocean parkway caught up to me by mile 9. after a pair of progressively slower miles, i ran my slowest mile, 8:04, on the hills in prospect park ...
From Triaspirational
... it was an enjoyable run, and it's quite something starting out like that on the Coney Island boardwalk. Very rattly/clanky boards when everyone's pounding along in an ambulant herd!
From Venerable Companions, Exemplary Campaign
We were feeling confident about the 2 hour goal but the park was the hilly part of the course and much more congested. I feel that one thing I do well running is holding a pace unless the hill is really big ...
From the Sound Shore Runners message board:
I had been expecting some tough hills, but my legs and breathing were feeling ok, and I actually caught up lost time towards the end, with 6:42 and 6:26 for the last two miles. Just as I was beginning to wonder where the finish line was, someone shouted "only another 45 seconds to the finish", which was probably the best thing I'd heard all day!
