My goal with this race, was to feel comfortable & finish the run without stopping. So I think I've got that. I just hope I don't get more nervous!

I agree with everyone else- trust your training. You are going to kill this.
In my training I only got to 10 miles before the 1/2 so you're ahead of the game.
Best advice I can give is make sure you keep yourself hydrated properly and don't start out too fast. You are going to love crossing the finish line. It's so amazing!! One of the best experiences of my life!!!!
Good luck and have fun!!!

Keeping my pace is worrying me. I'm afraid all the others will change my pace.

Just have fun. When you cross that finish line it makes all the work worth it.

Re: BTDT 1/2 marathon/racers....whats your best words of advice/lessons learned?
* trust your training
* set everything out the evening before
* hydrate as much as you can the day before
* don't eat anything new the day before or the day of the race... stick with what you know and has worked well for you
* go to bed early... but if your nerves keep you from sleeping, don't stress out about it. a lot of people don't sleep the night before.
* be careful about how you fuel... again, don't try anything new on the day of the race
* enjoy the race
* take the time to look around and take in the sights and sounds of your first race
HAVE FUN!!!

I did it!!!!
Finished my first race ever!!!
1:56:24!!!
It would have probably helped if I knew the course & all the hills, & ran on asphalt! (I haven't ran in streets in over 6 years)
