Half Marathon Race today -- Pace 7:38

Followed Di for the first two miles. Could not follow him
after the water break. Then a little bit slower than expected.

Felt tired today, it might be related the low pressure after the
rain. Or I did not have a good carb loading today, or not
enough water yesterday.

Tried to drink water on the mile 2 and mile 4. I felt a little bit better
after mile 6 when I had a big cup of water. Still slow for most of the
miles. And it was strange that I even tried to "quit". It's the first time
that I had this kind of feeling.  But I tried to keep the pace
with 1:40, and finish the race with John(1:40 pacer).

Was a little bit surprised that I could still run 7:29 on mile 13.
The slow also might be because that I saw no chance of 
3:35, and as long as I can finish 1:40; it was good enough.

Any, I will try 1:38 in March race.
