I was pretty worried about this race, since I rolled my ankle on Tuesday and then got good and sick for the rest of the week. I woke up feeling pretty lousy, so I decided that I would just go out and see what happened...I could always catch the quitter bus if it didn't work. But I surprised myself by getting a new PR in spite of it all! My garmin said I did 13.2 miles in 1:49:48. What a great race! They changed the course from last year, so there was a couple of miles to warm-up before hitting the steep downhill part. I actually felt really good the whole time, and felt great at the end!
So after the run, a few of us went home and got our bikes, and then hit the road for a few miles. I was having stomach aches from eating a big meal before going out, and I was feeling sick again and pretty dizzy, so I turned back early and only put in 20.8 miles in 1:10:41. Anyway, those guys were way fast for me, and I was having a hard time keeping up... :S |
