 Run
Comments: felt I ran strong. Missed my time goal but am still pleased with my first half marathon performance. Seeing family along the way made a huge difference in my race, it was so awesome to hear them cheering for you and know they believed in you to do it. What would you do differently?: not take as much water in the beginning. Due to the rain and cool temperature I wasn't sweating as much as normal and ended up with a full bladder (boo)  Post race
Warm down: big mistake here, hardly walked after. Left knee and ankle really hurt. am paying for it today with extremely tight quads. What limited your ability to perform faster: started out a bit too fast, the excitement got to me and I was jumping over puddles and expending too much energy working through my nervousness. Event comments: lots of fluid stations in the beginning, then sporatic from 7-11. Last updated: 2009-01-05 12:00 AM
