South Carolina Half - Triathlon1/2 Ironman

This run was my first half mary and i did it as a relay with Team Tri Candy! I felt like i did really well for my first run at this distance. It was a little wierd to do the course 4 times, but i liekd being able to see all my NAMC peeps 4 times! I tried to be in good spirits for them cuz i knew they would be run down at that point.
I really liked all the water stations and orange slices!
And YAY for port-o-pottys, although i did get a pee show along the way.
I felt great all the way to mile 12, then running through the parking lot was kind of silly and deceiving. Plu my nasty blister starting hurting me by then. Overall it was a good run. I now have a benchamrk for other races.

I would hydrate and eat closer to my run time, as it was hard to plan being in a relay. I would also body glide my feet! And i would start out a little slower. My pace for the 1st three miles were 9'30 miles, too fast for that distance.

Drank some water and gatorade, had a banana, then off to the med tent to get my blister treated. it was bloody and juicy, but they fixed it right up. Then had a beer, yummy!


Not knowing the course, feet started to hurt, heat was a factor...


THis race was set up well, the flow was good and there were lots of volunteers, except at packet pickup.
