quasify

I was chatting with someone about the upcoming BAA Half (come cheer on October 9th!) and they politely inquired as to what my goal was, and my best prior time. The latter of which, I curiously couldn’t recall. Fortunately, the internet remembers everything so after some poking around I was able to compile a dataset of various races long since finished. Below is a plot of all my prior half marathon times (that upward-bound curvy purple line). For fun I’ve added in the last few years worth of Gobble Gobble Gobbles (in orange) and two miscellaneous points (in 2004, there’s a public record of a very fast 1/2 time that was in reality Nate running for me incognito, and in 2009 I’ve plotted a dot of my SF marathon split).

So for the record, my 1/2 marathon PR is 1:42:52 (a 7:51 split), running with team Dana Farber back in 2003. I don’t anticipate besting that this year.
