I run parts of the
route regularly and have run every stretch of it before, but this is the first
time I've ever entered this race.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;figure&gt;

&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'm running this as a warmup for the Quad Rock next month and don't have any
ambitions other than to finish well and enjoy the spectacle. If I match my
previous best half marathon time (&lt;a class="reference external" href="http://localhost:8000/2015/05/05/running.html"&gt;1:52:41 in 2015&lt;/a&gt;) I will be quite content.
I've had a low volume training week and I'm feeling rested, so I might be able
to do better.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The weather is going to be nice and the starting line is an easy bike ride from
my house. I'm looking forward to getting there just before the 8:30 departure.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Post-race burrito, I'm coming for you&lt;/p&gt;
