Due to cold really couldn't drink water because it made me cough badly, so got a sip here and there. Not a big deal because it was so cold, wet and windy.

Was a solid race for conditions, cold, fitness and post race last week.

Warm down:

Get dry drive home 100 miles.

As stated above.

Event comments:

Race was well organized, on time, no calories at aide stations, aid stations only every 3 miles, post race food minimal, no real festivities after race. Course was good if it weren't so wet and cold, but you cant control the weather.

I will assume you have not run consistently more than 6 miles and have never completed a half-marathon. I believe running your first half-marathon is a big task which requires dedication and work.

My training was taking off. I had never felt stronger. I was making bigger strides than I ever had. I was stronger and faster than I had imagined myself ever being.
