I ran a 1/2 this morning...did a 2:18:59...so not really fast, but it is my 3rd best 1/2 (only 6 sec. slower than my 2nd best). It was warm (mid 60s), humid (about 80%) and miles 2-5 were directly into a 15 mph headwind. All rolling hills, too. Not to make excuses, but compare that to a cooler, drier day with an essentially downhill course for my faster two 1/2s, so I'm very happy with the outcome!

Better yet, I maintained pretty good pacing without dropping off towards the end like I usually do. So that is the real victory!

Matt---was thinking about you while running... hope the full went well.

Did an Indoor Triathlon today. This is the link to my race report:
http://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=105543&posts=1&start=1

Short version is that I should have pushed harder on both the bike and especially the run for this short of effort. Been doing too much long course racing I guess. Was 1/15 in my age group and 5/36 for women.

Hope everyone else's races went well
