Brief Rock N Roll San Antonio Report
I was at a comfortable 1:49:32 at mile 10, which is just under 11 minutes a mile. A little faster than where I wanted to be, but I was feeling good.
Then my left leg (upper front part of the calf), where the hamstring comes up and connects to your butt and left hip all started to take a beating. Mile 11 was my first plus 12-minute mile (12:35.95); however, as I cheered on a bunch of runners from Houston (as the course at that point was a true out-and-back), I was able to take my mind off of things.
I passed through the halfway point at 2:27:13, which I was OK with. Double it, add a 10-12% slide (14 to 17 minutes) and I was looking at between 5:08 to 5:11. I couldn't get quite comfortable.
I had 5:45:31. They credited me with 5:45:17. If I look at it from the Odessa to Marathon to San Antonio perspective, it is an improvement.
However, I really think that I was in better shape than this time.
I'll have to get in to see the chiropractor on Friday to get things realigned and do a re-set to see if I'm even going to try Kingwood on New Year's Day.
(It is likely that Memphis on Saturday, December 6 is now out. And no, no Sunmart!)
Here are some other marathon results (I should be in bed):
2:38:24 - Jay Hilscher, 34, Round Rock (TIR co-race director and winner of $500!)
3:11:08 - Anna Sumrall Helm, 42, Houston (Wow! Nice job for HARRA's President)
3:56:25 - Jim Braden, 73, The Woodlands (74.5% age grade)
4:37:44 - Steve Boone, 59, Humble
4:57:00 - Paula Boone, 42, Humble (nice job from Paula!)
5:18:52 - Karen Berglund, 57, Kingwood
5:22:49 - Ron Berglund, 61, Kingwood (Ron, she got you again!)
5:39:24 - Debbie Tripp, 52, The Woodlands (ugh, she got me!)
5:39:28 - Misty Graham-Baugh, 32, The Woodlands (she passed me between 22-23 on her debut marathon)
5:48:07 - Ken Johnson, 67, Huntsville (an improvement from Waco)
And some half marathon results:
1:08:18 - Sean Wade, 42, Houston (wins the masters)
1:09:56 - Luis Armenteros, 36, Houston (seventh overall)
1:55:54 - Stewart Comrie, 41, The Woodlands (ran Ten For Texas on Saturday)
1:57:15 - Jessica Alexander, 28, Austin
2:00:32 - Greg Alvarez, 40, The Woodlands
2:01:28 - Rick Ryals, 49, Spring
2:14:33 - Michelle Comrie, 39, The Woodlands (ditto as Stewart)
2:15:09 - Gena Alvarez, 41, The Woodlands (PR for one of Bill's team members)
2:43:10 - Christy Gonzales, 35, Spring
2:55:34 - Donna Ryals, 44, Spring
Will add more later! Well done to everyone!

I have learned the folly of beating Karen in a close race.
