So I run my first half (RunToTheBeat, shitty event, awful organization, not impressed) and broke my Garmin before the start. Literally frozen. So I couldn't pace myself in a proper way.
After the start I knew I was between the 1:45 and 2:00 pacers and just tried to catch up with the 1:45 one for all the time but concentrating on having a good stride since my knees are not the best ones you can find around.
In the end it was a 1:50 for me, I was aiming exactly at that and I would have been happy with anything sub 2h begin the first one.
I found the distance very pleasant. Challenging but doable and I cant' wait to try another one, but it will be for febraury/march I think. I'll stick to my 10-12k and some ParkRuns during the winter.
