2009 Goofy Race-and-a-Half - Donald's Half Marathon

The forecast was chilly, for Florida - 50F starting temp at 6am, 55F by 8am. I ran almost the entire way, excepting water stops and a handful of water stops. I tried to hold back, but my body and my mind wanted to go. I finished in 2:24 for a hair under an 11 minute mile, in the 40% percentile for males and the 58th percentile for my 44-49 age group. My splits were:
5K 11.:32 min total pace
10k 11:40 min total pace
15k 11:11 min total pace
the moon was out and it was just lovely overall.
I was a little concerned about the pace I kept, considering that speed was not important on this race.
