Race: Cowtown Marathon (26.2 Miles) 02:31:52, Place overall: 15
Total Distance
26.50

AM: Ran in the cowtown marathon this morning. Hot and humid out for the run, but whatever they are the elements and we all face them. Goal was to run sub 2:36:22 since this was the prize incentive. Just wanted to get a good effort below that pace and make some money. Long story short, wanted to build a cushion barring my fitness not being that great/weather type of thing. Ran the half, with a port-o-john break in 1:15:30s. So had a huge cushion mounted, but never really slowed down just kept it clipping in the 5:40s range and really felt strong and good. Nice little confidence booster workout for the future. Ready to mount to some bigger races in the future. 25 guys under and 2 females. Giving a grand total of $926 for the earnings. Not bad for a long/harder effort workout. Pleased with the outcomes! Nice start to my weekly mileage. Few extra tenths with the shakeout strides and to look for a quick bathroom spot pre-race.
