  • Comments: I knew I was going to go to this race regardless of the cough/throat thing. It's part of the 9+1 needed to get a spot in the 2011 NYC marathon (which is on the list). I also knew that the race would count as long as I started. I most likely should not have run at all and get some medicine but...I also wanted to see how I would react to pain/discomfort/mental issues because I know the IronMan 70.3 in July will HURT HURT HURT. This race worked out well in the schedule. Soon after Disney so two HM in 2 weeks is something special. It's enough time to recover and prepare for Shamrock and also lots of time before July, in case something really bad happened. As I get closer to Shamrock I'll need to start taking less chances as that is the 16-week mark before IM 70.3. This was a race I did understanding the risks but it was well worth the knowledge about myself that I gained.
