I run parts of the
route regularly and have run every stretch of it before, but this is the first
time I've ever entered this race.</p>

<p>I'm running this as a warmup for the Quad Rock next month and don't have any
ambitions other than to finish well and enjoy the spectacle. If I match my
previous best half marathon time (<a class="reference external" href="http://localhost:8000/2015/05/05/running.html">1:52:41 in 2015</a>) I will be quite content.
I've had a low volume training week and I'm feeling rested, so I might be able
to do better.</p>
<p>The weather is going to be nice and the starting line is an easy bike ride from
my house. I'm looking forward to getting there just before the 8:30 departure.</p>
