Notes
began with last 10 of NYC marathon course. felt awful when i crossed finish line in CP. I was near quitting. brutal leg fatigue. hard roads killing my legs. ups and downs of sidewalks, concrete, racing over the Willis due to construction. was well below 8min pace, inclduing traffic stops, even with 4:45am start.
but the soft dirt of the bridle path revived me. stopped 2 minutes (included in total time) to refill water. was clipping aong well, likely 7:20's, including quick paced finish.
remember, they are always tough. you always doubt yourself. trust yourself.
