Notes
Decided to run the 1/2 with my wife, she did really well considering her longest run coming into this was a 6 miler. We took walking breaks every 10 minutes and she had no issues finishing. Her time was slower than past ones but considering the training and that she is dealing with plantar fasciitis, she did great. I had heel pain that was increasing as the run went on so not doing the marathon was a wise choice, time to heal up and do some winter training.
They did a great job at this event, the course is run from Norwalk towards Sparta on the Elroy-Sparta bike trail. The marathon starts an hour earlier and my brother-in-law ran that. He did great as well, wanted to go sub 4 but ended up 5 minutes over. The weather was good but windy. I think I might add this one to my calendar, great logistics, great volunteers, easy surface to run in, the 3/4 mile long tunnel is interesting to run through. The race entry includes the spaghetti dinner the night before and a chicken dinner and beer afterward. Gotta love a Wisconsin event.
