Damn! I just wrote a whole post and lost it- damn damn damn.
Here goes again:
I did it! I’m a 1/2 marathoner! The race was great, hard, but great! I ran with Mom most of the time, except for about 2 miles when I was a bit faster than her. She caught up with me when I stopped to start my knee stretching. They were really hurting for most of the race, but I think the stretching helped me get through.
I wanted to pump it up at mile 10, but my knees hurt too much, so I decided I would at mile 12 and then I felt the worst I felt all race. So with .5 left to go I took off and sprinted it out to the end, which was good because there was a this tiny hill just before a downhill to the finish, and really to get through it well you had to sprint it.
I finished in 2:03, which just made me want to do it in 2:00. I blame the lack of splits, there were only 3 clocks which made it hard to know what pace I was doing.
I was pretty sore the next day mostly because we were in a car all day, and as soon as I got home from the race I came down with a cold.
Things are almost back to normal now, just some lingering soreness in my calves.
Now it is on to winter tri maitenance.
