I thought it would be interesting to show what keeps me moving in one of these fast distance races. What follows is a custom playlist of my music that I used in the 1/2 marathon. The times are not fully accurate as in some cases I truncated the song to remove dead air and boring parts. Without further ado…

With editing in place, the playlist was setup to finish with ‘Wet Sand’ around 1:45 (1 hour and 45 minutes). As it turns out, I ran this a bit faster, so I finished before that song ended.
