![]() Run
Comments: This was the first time I had run half marathon distance, and certainly the coldest weather I had run in. I purposefully held a relatively easy pace at the start as I wasn't experienced at the distance. This actually made the whole race pretty enjoyable and I felt strong the entire distance. What would you do differently?: I'm not a confident runner so tend to hold back to make sure I don't blow up. The reality is I'm sure I could have pushed harder and still finished strongly. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Walked the 1.5 miles home, sipping a cup of regularly freezing gatorade. Amused to find I had icicles hanging of my hair when i got home! What limited your ability to perform faster: Experience at this distance and running in general. Event comments: Main issue was the frozen water / gatorade at the drink stations.
