A Day at the Races... In Brooklyn
Yesterday was the Brooklyn Half Marathon. It started in Prospect Park
and made 2 loops around the park before exiting and getting on to Ocean
Parkway at the 7 mile. From there it was straight to Coney Island where
the race finished on the boardwalk near Keyspan Park. Approximately
12,000 people entered the race, and 9,415 people finished within the
three hour time limit.
I was aiming for a pace between 7:30 and 7:45 per mile and ended up with
a 7:33 pace for the day finishing in 1:39:07, ten minutes faster than my
time for the Manhattan Half. While not my best pace ever, it is a half
marathon PR for me.
Team Giraffes had a good showing. Four of the seven runners we entered
finished in under 2 hours, and all finished in under 2:30. Four members
of the team have completed their qualifiers for the 2010 NYC Marathon
now, and another is one race away from completion.
