Mother beastliness. That's all I have to say. My wife Rebecca really wanted to run this race and signed up before going to Utah. I finally signed up right before I went with a plan to just run the half marathon. After I reached the 48 laps required for the half, I figured I might as well just keep going until I couldn't run anymore and then I just kept going until 96 laps. I ran with Rebecca most of the time after the half and we had a pretty good pace going for a while. We then walked the last 6 making a total of 102. My legs were hurting really badly. The longest I had run this past year was a 10 miler and the longest was about an hour and half. Jumping to a 28 miler on an indoor track for over 4 hours was painful but I was glad we kept going. I think I enjoyed it much better after we finished. The pace was 10:26 per mile but that included about 7 laps of walking and a little bathroom break to put on some nip guards, change my shirt, and normal fuelings. Ended up being a good start to the new year :) |
