Yeah. Even she admits there's a difference between a fantasy and a goal and current marathon pace, which is yet to be decided, and her future rests on it not being hyped. She probably should have just kept going for at least another 8 miles to make sure she wasnt just totally full of dreams. Obviously at least one of the standards is: Marathon pace is not goal pace. Except maybe during a downhill half.

My bad, I completely forgot we were talking about the half here. Definitely no hills on that one and it's a rocket ship.
yeah- the Mesa half course is pretty flat. Light barely noticeable drop in the first half, then flat for the rest. good blacktop footing the whole way. Perfect weather- low to mid 50's and dry. Started way before sunrise, so no solar loading. barely any breeze.
It's was the best run event that I think I've ever run. Everything was flawless. The busses ran on time. they had heaters set up at the starting areas to gather around. they gave you free throw-away space blanket and gloves for the start (although it was warm enough we didn't need them). Fireworks, and soooo many porta potties. Never waited for a porta potty!!! Free beer and pizza afterwards. Event the race t-shirts were nice dye-sub rather than cheapo silk screened ones.
My only complaint was that there was no large cash prize for 3rd place age group. ;-)
