Long Beach Half Marathon
The expected hot weather managed to skip the morning of the Long Beach Marathon and Half Marathon-- ended up a bit too humid and still a tad warm, but overall was lovely, completely overcast and not too hot at all. Finished a few minutes faster than the previous half marathon with a 1:54:57/mile (8:41/mile GPS), 1:55:21 (8:48/mile chip)... given I ran a solid negative split, maybe I can get down to 1:50 my next race?
Post-race fooding at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. because they were one of the few places that was open so early (6:30am start time meant we were all finished by 9:30am). It's tourist trap food, pretty meh overall, but service was very good. There's quite a few slightly-less-touristy restaurants downtown instead of on the waterfront, maybe next year we'll research places open early?
