First off so that's why the half marathon distance run earlier 🙂👍
What are your expectations / goals for the race?
If you just want to finish then go ahead but scale your expectations to finish. It would be your first half? So there's that
Is it race that you would do next year? Given that they offer deferrals, I'm thinking it it is kind of a major race.
There's the whole discretion is the better part of valor and by deferring you absolutely keep your self from getting caught up in the race atmosphere and pushing harder than you can for that day. Running when you're less than perfect, there's the chance you get more hurt and takes even longer to get back to it
I'm currently in training for a race that I defered from last year so I made the choice but it was for a marathon and for me just going out to finish that distance is too much of an effort to know that there's some level of disappointment before I even start.
