Notes
Holy shit!!! The hardest race I've ever run. Never have I ever left so much on the course!! My first leg was tough, exhausting & a bit painful. This one started out amazing. Flat, wide, fairly smooth, amazing. About a half or 3/4 mile in, I checked my Garmin & saw my pace was 8:45. Oh shit, I'm moving too fast & gonna die long before the end of the 5.1. But I decided to push instead of slow down. Decided I'd push until I had no more. So I pushed, pushed & pushed some more. I was aiming for 10:15, thinking 11:15 was more of a reality. But I came in at sub-10 & was beyond excited...and exhausted. Wasn't sure I'd live for a bit afterwards, but was so excited w/ my pace I had to live to celebrate it!!
