Last year, I ran this w/ major back pain and did not break 2 hours. This year I ran fast and strong making a new half marathon PR and a 1:43:00 finish with 7:51/mile pace. Celine also ran and made a impressive 2:47:00 12:44/mile. Great day, great weather, awesome to run in the vineyards. I pushed myself hard in the second half. Finished in the top 15% or so of my age/sex group. I'm usually a mid packer, so I like that improvement too.
There's a 'heartbreak hill' in the middle of the race, but after all my hill work for the NMM, it really was no big deal.
