A massage was definitely in order after my half-marathon! I finished around 2 hours and 2 minutes. I know it’s not the time I wanted. At the 18k mark I pretty much bailed. I ran on pace (for under 2 hours) for 95% of the race. At the 14k mark, I ripped off my thermal and my jacket because I was just too damn hot. I really picked up the pace. At around the 18k mark, I just kind of gave up. I don’t know what the hell was wrong with me because there was only 3k left. I even walked up an entire hill right before the downward slope to the finish.
I did pick it up and cruised to the finish line and passed four people. Ha ha ha. As always, I had my head down. Overall I’m pretty happy with my race.
Anyway, the short of it is… happy with my race! Thanks to Carleigh for coming out to support me. There’s nothing sadder than crossing the finishline and having no one to tell you, “good job!”
