SEB Tallinn Half Marathon

I pulled a muscle some weeks back that killed my plans to run the Night Half Marathon in Rakvere and I thought would quash my Tallinn Half plans. But when race day came, I said to hell with it and decided to go for the half.

I'm glad I did. It was a good run for me, even though it was slow. I ran all of it (except for the water stops and some short hills at the end) and my leg didn't bother me at all.

The run itself was well supported. Good water stops, although I was surprised by the fuel they put out: sugar and rye bread. A couple of places had bananas, too.
I was surprised at the smell running along Tallinn Bay. Other people had mentioned it before, but this is the first time I'd really noticed it.

At least there wasn't much running on the cobble stone.
