 Run
Comments: I had fun between miles 3-9. Before that, I was too stiff, and after that the hunger and nausea were catching up with me. Betsy was a great sport, taking all my walk breaks with me and being supportive. She kinda wanted me to run it in at the end, and I only got a little bitchy: "NO! I am taking ALL of my walk breaks!" The run walk means you kinda play back and forth with people, catching them, then they catch you, etc. There was one woman that looked like a bigger version of Sue, and at the end B said, "Don;t let Big Sue beat you!" But she did, she must have had some left in her bc she picked it up. AS we rounded the corner to the end, we sprinted in together which was fun and stupid, I never sprint, and I felt a kind of tweak in my right thigh, but, whatev. We finished, and I beat my goal time by some miracle of divine pity, I think. What would you do differently?: I always say I will prepare better and I never really do, so what's the point? :) Sleep, however, is a good thing, and I should have been much more careful about eating.  Post race
Warm down: got medals, water, bread, pretzels, dry clothes, took shuttle back to hotel, tried to eat brakfast but still felt queasy, took a power nap. What limited your ability to perform faster: preparation Event comments: disappointingly unscenic. We did get to run across a bridge (betsy called it a hill) across the missouri river which was cool. The weather may have made even less attractive, very grey and overcast. I am glad I did this, 13.1 is so much more sane than 26.2 Last updated: 2007-07-18 12:00 AM

Elite 3201 South Florida | Subject: RE: Lewis and Clark Half Marathon Amazing job! Imagine when you really get to train/rest/warm up like you wanted - you'll be running under 2hr half marys in no time. I like that Betsy called the bridge a hill - that's us Floridians for you. |

THE WORST. The three days before the race, the following non-ideal things occurred: piss poor sleep in hotels, horrible eating even for a couch potato (like, 4 meals in 2 days, so hungry that I was too queasy to eat a whole sandwich on Sat...), my period, driving in cars and sitting on planes for way too long, no yoga despite bringing the damn DVD everywhere, blah blah.I am the Queen of Good Intentions...
Then, Sunday am before the race, we got up and went to breakfast only to discover that the host hotel did NOT have breakfast for us. And it was freezing cold out and Betsy was already turning blue. And I was so nauseated, I felt horrible.
ha ha ha, I've heard of that. We were on one of the last shuttles to the start line, so we didn't have much time which was good, because I would have been stressing about my poor preparation. We did end up talking to three young women, it was their first organized race, we chatted a bit then did the "how old are you" thing. I almost died on the spot. They were 16! I was sure they were in their 20's. As we walked away we heard one of them say, "That's so cool, they are 35 and they are still doing triathlons!" It was funny
