* My last little lesson of the day - I don't know if it was coincidence, but I had pretty bad chafing, and I've never had a problem before. New tube of Body Glide?

Nice job and nice report. I ran the first Seacoast half (my sister works at Runners Alley) really nice course, except that list mile.
Who is your sister? I LOVE the ladies at Runner's Alley. I trained with their group, Ashley and Trisha were great motivators!!!!
Tricia is my sis. They are a good crew there--I stop in at the store whenever I'm in the Portsmouth area.
Congratulations. Great race report. You're certainly not the first runner to try something new on race day that you've regretted and you won't be the last. At least you made it through. I got stuck once with a bad tube of Body Glide. Same thing, came off in chunks. I was hoping it was a one-off bad batch but maybe there is more to it. Glad to hear from zoom-zoom that there is another option. I wasn't aware of it. So now you have three months to train for the Half at the Hamptons where you can break 2 hours....
When all is said and done; there is a lot more said than done.
