Houston Half Marathon & Relay

8:00 AM. Sleep: 7 hr. Talked with Andrea's dad before the race, start was delayed by hour due to lightning, should have brought a trash bag to stay warmer before the start, started a bit back from the start line, so I had to weave through traffic, no one passed me during the entire race and managed to run down all but two that I could see in front of me, felt a hot spot on left pinky with about 5k to go but nothing that I could except run through at that point, fairly even pace - perhaps a bit aggressive early, roughly a minute off my PR, splits: 0:07 (gun-chip), 6:11, 5:54, 5:46, 5:43, 5:53, 5:50, 5:54, 5:59, 5:57, 5:56, 11:16 (2 mi), 7:14 (1.1 mi), marks might be off for the last 5k, 1:17:30.3 (chip), 1:17:38.3 (gun), 8th overall, 3rd male 20 - 24.
