Still on my -500 cal deficit diet.
Event warmup:

2K jog, no taper for this race so legs are heavy.

Comments:

A race is IMC so knew this was not going to be a PR. No days off before or after mean the effort was perfect training effect.

Post race
Warm down:

Went right home, and then out for a 90 minute hard bike. Legs and power were fine. No days off after race, just slower pace. This is good.



Event comments:

This is one race I've run every year since getting off the couch. Weather makes it hard to compare year to year but it's a good early race to aim and train for.

Overall: 38/1051
Performance: Average
Was holding sub 4:15 until about the half-way mark - Garmin 920 crashed THREE times, and on the final time it wiped my activity (right at the finish line). HR was lower than potential, around 148-154.
Course: Reversed this year (so counter clockwise) - pretty much everyone agrees it's harder. It's always hilly but the uphills are endless while the downhills are more short and steep.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right

Steady is our walk. Ignoring the pain that is radiating from my feet, I continue to place one foot in front of the other. Again I wonder, “Why am I doing this?”

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.
