I really liked this course. Other than the nasty headwind and having to go to the bathroom twice, I had a good day. I was excited to run with my sister. We stayed together until I had to make my first bathroom stop right after mile 4. I made a second bathroom stop at mile 8. The last 3 miles I started picking girls to pass. That last girl I passed we were in a sprint to the finish and I barely beat her. That was fun. After the race, my sister and I compared our mile splits. They were very close other than the two miles I stopped. I need to get faster at stopping. She finished 2 minutes ahead of me. My splits were: 7:41, 7:31, 7:50, 7:50, 9:00 (bathroom stop), 7:35, 7:43, 9:48(2nd bathroom stop that took way too long), 7:35, 7:50, 8:02, 7:52, 7:55, and a 6:43 pace for the finish. |
