Notes
Had a real good time at this race. It was nice to have so many friends there to race and offer support.
The Good: (1) I feel like I beat the Marathon and was able to run my race for the first time, did not need to stop and was able to finish with gas in the tank. (2) Did not injure myself, this was a concern of mine in the weeks before the race and I almost cancelled. (3) Really enjoyed all the weekend runs, thanks to all who let me join in on their runs.
The lessons: (1) Lack of experience, no clue as to my pace and how it should feel or how I would respond as the miles added up. I also realize I know very little about running and I could benefit from more race experience. (2) Using Noel's watch for the first time was a bad choice, I thought getting the splits would be useful but it contributed to my pace confusion. (3) I should take advantage of the notes section more when posting my runs. (4)more to come!
Looking forward to the next go around I know I can do much better.
