Half-marathon PR!

I set a personal record on the erg today for the half marathon, despite having also done one on Friday afternoon and 9km yesterday. I beat my previous record from December 2001 by 13 seconds. I’ve never really, really gone full out on one of them. This one had a split of 2:43; I suspect I could manage at least a 2:39 split, if I were willing to be fairly useless for the rest of the day, and maybe tired for a day or two later. Today I’m not, since I need to finish prepping for the movers, who begin tomorrow; to derig and cover the boats; and to do another 19km in the next few days to finish the Holiday Challenge. I’m pretty happy about that part; I thought I’d be doing well to get to 160km before leaving, but in fact I’m up to 181 km already.

And just because it was a bit of a pain to figure out that it was a PR (at least, for the years for which I have records) I’m going to log my previous years’ records, for the years in which I ranked a half marathon.
