Congrats to John Batchelor on finishing his first half marathon. John joined the RMEC a few months ago inspired to train for a full marathon. He decided to use the Rock 'n Roll Half Marathon is a training race.
Unlike last year, the weather was anything but perfect. It was a hot and humid day. The warmer temps did not appear to impact John, as he ran a 1:43:31 and finished 75th in his division. For an event with well over 10,000 runners, this is one heck of a race debut.
One more thing. . . John did this race without a taper at all. He ran a 20 miler last weekend, and another six miler just two days before the race. Great job John! Good things are ahead in Chicago.
