race report: heartbreak hill half marathon

Distance: 13.1 miles
Time: 1:55:42 (edited from 1:55:44--they shifted the preliminary results).
Pace: 8:50/mile
Temperature: 76 degrees by the end

This is going to be a really short race report: I PRed by about six minutes today on a brutal course in hot weather, and am so happy to have seen fellow CRCers cheering on the sidelines.

This was the first running of the Heartbreak Hill half, so there were a few annoying things:
1) no timing chips
2) course open to cars
3) runners had to wait to cross streets

Now to take ten more minutes off my time by October...
