Popular Brooklyn Half Marathon (Repeated State, first Time Doing This Race)

This year I ran in the Popular Brooklyn Half Marathon.

The race started at 7:00, my corral did not go until 7:20 in the morning (weather was 56-59 degrees when lining up, then climbed in 70 degrees by the end) and we started at Prospect Park and ended in Coney Island.  This was a huge race with 28,000 runners doing the half marathon.
