Comments:

First half marathon ... felt great! Hip was hurting from about mile 4 to 8, but settled in after that. Had a good bit of energy at the end, so I turned it up for the last few miles.

Event comments:

Very cool 1/2 Marathon... HUGE expo with bouncy castles for the kids with lots of venders and give aways. 3 or 4 live bands on the course made for a great atmosphere. The course is very flat for the first 8 miles or so, then gently rolling after that. This was my first 1/2 marathon, and I'm using it as a warm up for my first 1/2 Iron distance tri later this summer.
