For a "C" race that I decided to do on Thursday night I am happy with the result. I have been pretty sick the last week and a half and I rode 52 miles on the bike yesterday. Started off a little fast (first 3 miles were under 20 min) and I hit the 10k mark at about 42 and some change. Hills really didn't bother me since I train on them all the time anyway. Fatigue in the legs from yesterdays bike ride kicked in about Mile 11.
That all being said, it's a new PR by 3 minutes.

Nothing really, the only thing that I would do if I were trying to PR is not ride the day before. And not dig so deep on the ride. I was trying out Carbo Pro (which is good) but I forgot my NUUN's so it was Carbo Pro in water (which is bad) and no electrolytes. I didn't drink enough on the ride and was really feeling dehydrated most of yesterday.

Walked around and got some water and fruit and waited for Cookie to finish.


Sickness and fatigue. My HR was pretty low the entire run and I actually hit the 5 and 10k marks near my PR for both. The entire run felt easy until Mile 11 when the hammys and calves started to bark.


After the horror stories from last year I was a little nervous, but they had plenty of water and Gatorade and each stop and were handing out GU at mile 7.5 as advertised. I would do this race again.
