A surprisingly good race considering I am coming off of the highest mileage of my life and the finish was a little higher than the start (well, a few inches higher) and there were a fair few hills! My start was very bad because we timed the warm-up poorly and got to the back of the pack right as the race started- so it took some time to get across the line and get around a lot of people- but the good thing was, it meant that I was passing people throughout the race, and that makes a race feel pretty good. I got a stein for my prize! And I went on an 8-mile cooldown with Bill and Jeremy. Bill gave me some good advice for my marathon. But, the cooldown felt a bit fast to me, which was fine I suppose. |
