 Run
Comments: It was cold and windy at the start, mostly a headwind until we got up the course about 3 miles, I started slowly not really feeling inspired for the race, my 5 mile split was just under 58 minutes, decided to speed up just a bit, the wind coming off the ocean in Ft STory was fairly strong, my next 5 mile split was right around 55 minutes, pretty happy with that; I tried to pick up my speed for the last 5K but my legs started cramping; I was mad at myself for not bringing along any electrolyte tablets, had to settle for a 34 minute 5K; not bad but not quite as fats as I had wanted What would you do differently?: carry electrolytes, drink more gatorade along the way  Post race
Warm down: went into the tent, had some Irish Stew and some beer, talked to a few friends but my legs were sore so I didn't stay long; I was tired of standing What limited your ability to perform faster: lack of speed training Event comments: this is a great local race that I do every year; one of these years we're going to have good weather Last updated: 2008-01-07 12:00 AM

Science Nerd 28760 Redwood City, California | Subject: RE: Shamrock Sportsfest Half Marathon Nice race!! Gatorade seemed kind of hard to come by at a few of the water stops. Two of them were out by the time I got there. It was really cold this morning. I jumped in at the last minute, too, so I didn't get a chance to see you. It was nice to see you again. Let me know if you want to come ride some hills one weekend. |

up at 4:30, had cliff bar, sports drink and coffee on way to race, found a great parking space (always a challenge at the beach), waited in my car for a while since is was raining a bit and super windy
walked to the gear drop place and starting corral, tried to stay out of the wind until the last minute, I never found any of my friends before the start
