Notes
I haven't done speed work in over a year. I was only hoping to keep a 10 minute pace through the race without dying. Running with Amber we just took off and kept ticking off the miles. We stopped at every other water stop to walk and drink then picked right back up. took a gel at 5 and 11, although the one at 11 sat hard, I needed it for the final mile. My legs felt great until mile 12, which I blame on the final hill climb that we did. I really felt strong and it all just came together. I am sure the cool weather had a lot to do with it. I am very happy especially since I was not training for this race at all!
