Did the CDA half with Rachael this morning and it was great! Perfect weather, perfect race, this felt great especially after the mini injury I had a few weeks ago. Felt tight the first 3 miles and was a little worried (I was really worried I wouldn't be able to maintain that pace the whole time and was going to be walking later!), but then I hit my stride and just got in the zone. :-)
TT: 1:54:41 AP: 8:42
Splits: 8:27, 8:36, 8:37, 8:41, 8:44, 8:50, 8:59, 8:49, 8:47, 8:51, 8:48, 8:41, 8:17
Took a gu at 6 and 10, and had an absolutely fabulous brunch afterwards. So proud of Rachael! This was really a great race - it was extremely flat, ran along the beautiful Coeur D'Alene lake and saw some gorgeous mansion/castle homes. We should definitely do it again next year! Was pretty small, so it was definitely a race you would want to do with someone else. The "expo" included a bounce house and the packet pick-up pretty much! After worrying about this terrible weather all week it actually stayed dry for the entire race. Went golfing twice, virtual golfing once, to a delicious brunch, a delicious bbq, had a camp fire, ran the race, played cards, walked the boardwalk and pretended to look at $600,000 yachts, shopped for the 80's party next weekend, drove about 12 hours (should have been 9 but the traffic both ways was baaaaaaad). Overall, GREAT holiday 3-day weekend!
