Notes
Blues at the Crossroads Half-Marathon
Wasn't really feeling it this morning before the race. Ate a few cubes of pineapple, a single pancake without syrup,, and a half of a banana around 6:30am. Hopped on my bike at 6:45 and rode 2.5 miles to the start of the race. Race began at 7:30. It was humid, cold, and windy. I was underdressed. I wish I would've packed a pair of gloves and my half tights, I would've rather raced in that. This was the first cold run I've had in awhile, so I wasn't ready for it.
3 miles in, the headwind started to wear me out, started feeling like I could throw up. I had that feeling until the end. The two guys ahead of me pulled away at 3 miles, by 8 miles, I started reeling them back in. If it hadn't been for my urge to throw up, I feel confident I could've busted out a killer last mile or two for the win. Winner went 1:16:01, so only 19 seconds ahead. I'm ok with it given what I've dealt with over the last couple months, it was a good workout none the less.
