This is my second half marathon. Didn’t run for 4 weeks before this run. Pretty much ran on my CrossFit results. Took me 2hr 53mins.

One other person from the gym also did the half marathon. It too him 2 hrs 3 mins.

The best thing about this half marathon are the music (hence rock n roll), the cheerleaders and the San Jose residents cheering for us. Lots of kids around giving hi-fis. Some of the folks keep saying “you can do it”.

Overall, had good time. You can check Strava overview here.

This is my very first half marathon. The first 5 miles was relatively flat and was easier. Then came the Golden Gate Bridge for 4 miles which has a little uphill both ways. After that came the SF street roads which were a nightmare to run on. Was walking most of the time I went uphill. Tried to run as much as I can on the downhills and flat so that I can finish it in 3 hours and I did it. Yay!! But honestly, the crowd makes it a little easier.

For practice, I ran 3 – 6 miles quite a lot, 10 miles once before the half marathon.  Apart from that, the general workout at Ironwill CrossFit helped me with this run.
