Urban Wildlife Half Marathon 2005

There’s not really too much to report about the race. I more less used it as a long training run and I successfully kept Ego at bay. Not that Ego didn’t try, but luckily I kept convincing him every mile marker that we were going to drop the hammer at the next mile marker. I finally caved into his request at mile 12, but he only had 1 mile of fun. :)

It was a gorgeous day. It was a gorgeous course. Thanks to Trimama for suggesting the race to me. Sorry that I didn’t see you out there. I arrived kind of late and between running to get my race packet, running back to my car (parked several blocks away) to drop off my goodie bag, running back to the venue to use the little boys room, and running to the start line, I only had a couple minutes to spare. At least I got a nice warmup in. ;)

Mile Splits:

  1. 8:50
  2. 8:42
  3. 8:28
  4. 8:35
  5. 8:26
  6. 8:22
  7. 8:22
  8. 8:21
  9. 8:25
  10. 8:28
  11. 8:24
  12. 8:26
  13. 7:22 (! Go Ego !)
  14. 0:42 (last .1)

Final Time: 1:49:51

  2. Way to go on the “training run” Chris. You are obviously getting stronger on your runs!

    Glad you let your ego out to play, if only for a short mile :)

  3. Dude, nice race. I am glad you can control yourself and be so even across the board!

    Good job on making it a long training run.

  4. Dang, I’m sorry I missed you! That was a good run, I especially liked the nature center-twice. Nature’s air conditioning. You passed tridaddy and the tribe just prior to mile 7 water stop, so at least some of us got to cheer for you. Keep me posted on future races :)

  6. very cool. great pace for the distance and the last kick at the end, ends all the snide talk that you couldn’t do any better. a drop like that silences a lot of critics. not that you will find many on your website.
