Notes
Half marathon. I don't know what happened here. I finished 3rd overall but I am not happy.
My first mile looks fast but I hit the lap when I hit the one mile sign and it appeared to be short. Overall the course was about 13.1 though so they may have just screwed that one up. I ran the next 6 very well and I was feeling great about things. Then I had one bad mile (mile 8) and I fell apart after that. My legs felt heavy, my right hamstring/groin felt tight and I just didn't have it. I have no excuse for what happened.
I am really upset about this. I have a marathon coming up in 6 weeks and I feel like I'm not ready. I worry that I peaked in Chicago in 2013 and I haven't been close since. I am so frustrated with my running. Even a PR at the TC 10 mile doesn't give me a lot of confidence because I never had a great PR to begin with.
I'm really hurting mentally right now.
