Spencer sizzles in San Diego

Marist Running Alum Spencer Johnson ran a personal-best time by more than a minute on Sunday at the Rock and Roll Half Marathon in San Diego, clocking in a 1:08:05. He placed 20^th overall in an elite international field. Here is his brief race report as well as mile splits. Nicely done, Spencer!

The first four miles were gradually uphill so I stayed on the conservative side, then as the race went on I tried my best to pick up the pace. I ran a 1 minute and 6 second PR! My previous PR was 1:09:11 at the New Paltz Challenge almost a year ago. Here are my splits from my watch:


Mile 1: 4:57.76
Mile 2: 5:13.36
Mile 3: 5:22.76
Mile 4: 5:12.47
Mile 5: 5:08.90
