Comments: Disapointed that I didn't break 2h, but pretty pleased regardless with my first 1/2 time. Legs felt great until mile 10 or so. Spent the first 10 chatting with lots of people that I knew from high school, university, and work. I actually knew quite a few people out there. The beer at mile 7 was about the best I've ever had in my life. By 12 my legs were garbage. I couldn't sprint out the last mile without falling on my arse. At least I was able to run it in all the way. What would you do differently?: Find a better pace bunny, or just count on my own watch for timing. Really upset she didn't let us know waaay beforehand that she had fallen behind. ![]() Post race
Warm down: H20 and a popsicle, walked around behind the stadium for a bit. Didn't really stretch, just kept walking. What limited your ability to perform faster: Ran out of gas at the end. Maybe a power gel or bar or something at about mile 10 would have made a big difference. Maybe not? Event comments: Lots of fun and the people were really great there. The shuttle to and from the event could use some work, but otherwise it was really well coordinated. I shall definitely consider doing the full next year. Last updated: 2004-02-01 12:00 AM
