My first race of the month was the White Mountain Milers half-marathon. It was a perfect day to race with temperatures in the low 50s and no wind. I took advantage hitting 5 miles in 24:55 and the second 5 in another 24:55 (49:50). Somewhere around 7 miles I took control of the lead slowly pulling away from Fernando Braz. I thought I had a shot at sub-5 pace (1:05:30) but lost a few seconds on the final (and only) uphill in the race climbing up from the river to downtown Conway. My final time of 1:05:42 was and still is the New Hampshire state record (it is no longer the course record as the course has been changed). Braz took second in 1:07:35. Teammate Steve Peterson ran 1:13:16 and future teammate Dan Verrington ran 1:14:52.
