What a day! I'm not going to write much except to say that it was NOT my best race...conditions were NOT perfect like last year, so I did much worse than expected. Apparantly, the majority of runners out there felt about the same way. It was the warmest starting temperature on record for the Saint George Marathon. Not only that, but the Beaver fires have been blowing smoke in our direction for days, so the air quality was not great. Whatever. My feet were killing me within the first few miles, and that pretty much was it for the race. I would have quit and walked the race out, but I had friends waiting for me at mile 25, and I didn't want to dissappoint them by showing up late....so...I kept running. Glad it's over!!! :D |
