Half-Marathon Addendum - The Splits

Just had a chance to break down the race by looking at the Garmin. Here's the story by the numbers:

1 - 7:13
2 - 7:14
3 - 7:09
4 - 7:16
5 - 7:09 [the wind died down a bit from miles 5-9]
6 - 6:57
7 - 7:02
8 - 7:04
9 - 6:54
10 - 7:06
11 - 7:09
12 - 7:10
13 - 7:07
0.1 - 1:30 (measured 0.25 by Garmin auto-lap, sub-6:20 pace)

Heart rate averaged 170, with a max of 178 during the final kick.

Yeah, I can live with that. Next HM goal may be to run sub-7:00 pace, but that may be overly ambitious.
