Run
Comments: The run went well. I had little expectations, but a goal of 4 hrs. The first loop went well, finished it in 1:56. The second went surprisingly well. My plantar fascia was bothering me the entire day, and I thought the second loop would be tough. I only slowed by a couple of minutes, and felt good hte last few miles. The last few miles, I knew that I had a couple of minutes to spare to break 4 hrs, and when I crossed the finish lone, and was told I won my age group, it was an added bonus What would you do differently?: nothing Post race
Warm down: walked around, looking for something to eat. What limited your ability to perform faster: nothing Event comments: The race festival was a great theme weekend, with the events starting Fri afternoon and lasting til Sun afternoon. Tons of music, nightly 5K hikes/runs/"natural runs" even. 100m, 100K, 50m, 50K, full, half, and 5mile races. My only complaint was there was minimal food for the marathon runners at the finish. The ultra racers had a HUGE set-up - and they deserve it- but the marathon runners had bagels, bananas and water. No gatorade. cokes, anything salty, and definitely no beer. Otherwise, it was a great race. Last updated: 2012-08-31 12:00 AM
