Comments: Enjoyed not having to deal with traffic on this course! Started out with a sub 10 pace for first 4miles. Started slowing with the bridge underpasses. Stopped to help a stroller racer when she dropped strawberries along the path. She was awesome...passed me, fell behind, then passed me again. Gave fives when we went by each other and then she cheered for me at the finish :) Took a Gu between 7-8. Around mile 10 my quads started tightening (not sure why...hills?) Not horrible but I paused to stretch a couple of times. Definitely slowed me down. Trailed a man (late 50s) by 10-20ft for last 4 miles. Almost passed him coming off bridge in sight of finish. I backed off...would've gained a few seconds, but quads hurt. Figured I didn't need injury since already had my PR and wouldn't have moved me up in AG and only one OA. Sooo happy to see DH waiting for me at finish after his PR! What would you do differently?: ooops...Slow down for first water station. Kinda choked into coughing fit at mile 2. :/  Post race
Warm down: Walked and stretched...then sat and stretched. Water, banana, bagel. Basked in my PR happiness. :) What limited your ability to perform faster: Sore quads last 3 miles. Event comments: This was their inaugural race. Hope they had a good enough turnout to do it again next year. Profile Album Last updated: 2013-03-10 12:00 AM

Expert 911 Casa Grande | Subject: RE: City of Peoria HM Awesome job by wifey. I was super proud of the time. For those who have just recently become acquainted with Erin, she told me a few weeks ago she could never run a 2hr HM. and yet in only her 3rd HM she picked up 13ish minutes. She can do 2hrs next year at the latest! This was basically with no tape too. We just went out and ran it! AWESOME JOB BABE! |

5am wake up. Drank coffee and ate a bar during hour drive. Relaxed and enjoyed sunrise with DH. Changed shoes and shirt in parking lot.
Had about 15 min after going through the potty line and being amused by two "Chatty Cathy" runners. Stretched and ran down trail a bit. Got back and joined DH at start.
