Worst race ever, not because I wasn't feeling well, but this race was horrible. Very poor support on course, race started late (ugh, just never a good thing), refreshments as promise was not done, as you got further onto the course the signs were not very clear.....should I even continue!
So, basically I got what I paid for. There was a Groupon out for this race for $35, 4 of my running buddies thought this would be a good race for us to do and I was onboard because I wanted to move up ib my half fanatic status. If only we knew how this race would have turned out. Good thing is, we all finished and got our bling. As you see, there is no picture of the medal because it's just NOT right!
Now, back to me not feeling good. It was my TOM and I was feeling very weak with no energy after the 6th mile. From that point, I decided to just walk it on out. I surprising kept a 13.4l5 to 14min pace so I was doing pretty good. I ran into a couple, the husband was doing his first and last half so I went ahead and finished the race with them. We came in right around 3 hours 15min. Not my best and not my worse either, but I finished and thats what was important.
So where do I go from here......next half is in 2 weeks, so I will work on proper hydration techniques and keeping energy. Oh, my foot feels good, so all is good here!
