Considering I hardly ran at all for this race I did pretty good. I couldn't make up my mind what to wear b/c it rained pretty much all day Saturday and thought it was going to be raining Sunday for the race. Woke up on time, and it's RAINING out...blah... The rain had stopped by the time we got to the start line and I ditched the rain coat.
Miles 1-6: Felt great, had a good steady pace of starting at 9:00 then to an 830 and powering up the hills.
Miles 7 and 8: Started to feel hungry and sore, hip flexors really started to hurt. (9:00/8:30pace)
Mile 9: second wind; steady pace of 830.
Mile 10-13: OMG hurt so bad, the wind picked up of 25-30 mile gust, literally blowing me away. I had to stop and walk a few seconds. Hip Flexors screaming now. Pace dropped to a 9:30/10:00. The last mile home stretch kicked up a notch and made it to the finish line and almost threw up.
Today, I'm a little sore and pretty stiff but all in all for not training I don't feel to bad. VERY HUNGRY today. Got a good night rest and can't wait to start "training" for my next half the end of May.
