Those of you who follow me on Strava will already know my general results, but just to update here...

I ran the OC Half with an official time of 1:53:59. I am somewhere in the middle on this result.

It was my third half and my first time running the OC. My other two halfs were both at the Surf City. The first time in 2014, I was in pretty good shape and didn't know what was good. I ran it in under 1:51, which is still my PR for an official half. In February I ran it again but I was carrying more weight and finished it at around 1:56.

The Surf City is a very flat race, but the OC is much more hilly. I considered it a tougher course. So improving on my February Surf City time is a decent accomplishment.

But I still feel I can do better. I'll complete the Beach Cities Challenge at the Long Beach in October, and I am hoping to be running at around 160 for that one (I am at 180 right now; I ran the 2014 Surf City at 170 and the 2015 at 190). Being lighter and with a longer training program should help whip me into shape for the Long Beach.

The OC is a beautiful run, BTW. Much of it is along the bluffs near Newport Beach and Balboa Bay.
