Run
Comments: This run was slower than Saturday by far, but felt great. I totally took it easy and just had fun. I kept my HR in zone 1-2 the entire way and just had a super fun run. The weather was much, much cooler than the day before and I felt better as a result. My legs felt fresh, considering the half the day before, and most people though slower the second day seemed to agree that they felt better overall. What would you do differently?: Nothing! I like just having fun once in a while running and not trying for a PR or anything else. Just run to have fun! :) Post race
Warm down: Had a kolache-chatter with others who had finished and went home to warm up once I got my huge 3rd medal for finishing both halves. Seriously, that thing is awesome and made the whole 2 half marathon weekend challenge totally worth it! I'm a dork like that. Also, the race benefited a local battered women's shelter and they were selling last year's tech shirts and hats at a really low cost. I bought a few for my family and myself. What limited your ability to perform faster: Running a half and biking 60 miles the day before? Oh yeah, also not feeling competitive in the least and still being a pokey runner by nature. Event comments: This race is great and sold out this year as its reputation is spreading. Do it next year for a change of pace and a good cause. It's really fun and a great spring warmup!

Drove to the race and drank my ensure on the way.
Tried to stay warm--it was cold and windy. I kept my jacket and pants on until the last minute and handed them off to my stepdad right before the race started.
