Notes
Geist Half Marathon, Fishers, Indiana. Only learned of this at 5:30pm the night before, after I had raced the CBI 5K. Ran as Lara Weeks, as she had an injury and could not run.
Set out to run a sub 2, using the plan I will use in the fall...ran continuously, walked the water stops. It worked. Hilly course. Set my Garmin to virtual trainer and tried to keep up and it worked fairly well.
Very interesting...I quit drinking Diet Coke 16 days ago. When we got to the start grid, I made one trip to the portables and that was it until I got home. Very, very unusual, as I normally have 2-3 pit stops in the first 15 miles of any race. Today, nothing. I drank at most water stops and, still, no urge to pee. This is very fascinating.
An encouraging run today.
