Run
Comments: Felt great for a while. Ran the first 5 miles in under a 9 min/mi pace! Amazing for me. Gel at mile 6 and 10. Around mile 8, felt fatigued, so I started walking a minute every mile. Once I came around the corner and saw the finish .25 miles away, I took off because I was so excited to finish! THAT was such a great feeling. Erik and Tara were near the finish. What would you do differently?: I'm not sure if I need to learn to pace myself or if I just need to learn to run faster over the long haul? I also need to position myself a little further up in the crowd. With 1000+ runners, I had to navigate through all the people for about the first mile. Post race
Warm down: Chilled out with Brett, his family, and my family. The sun came out which was GREAT! Had a difficult time eating, as usual. Got down a 1/2 of a Clif Bar, and lots of water. Stretched a lot too. My quads are tight. What limited your ability to perform faster: Nothing really....just my genetics I guess. I WANT TO RUN FASTER! :) Event comments: Great race....I'll do it again. I did this race 2 years ago and it was the breaking point for my knee that had subsequent surgery. It was GREAT to go back and TAKE THE COURSE! I'm pretty darn happy with my time, but definitely want to run faster in the future! Last updated: 2005-04-03 12:00 AM
