          This was part of my half-marathon race. I did the 5K then ran back into my corral to run the half-marathon. I did not know how to record back-to-back races.

Conditions:

  • 54°
  • Breezy
  • Congested the entire race with runners

Race: One America Mega Mini Challenge (13.109 Miles) 02:06:21, Place overall: 6395, Place in age division: 50

0.000.000.00

Pace:

  • 5K - (not posted yet)
  • Half marathon - 9:38

Conditions:

  • 54°
  • 15 mph winds

Observations:

  • With the 5K, I kept a comfortable pace to conserve energy for the half marathon
  • The 5K was so congested with participants that I did not enjoy wiggle room until mile 2
  • I chose not to weave in and out of people
  • With the half marathon, I ran comfortably until mile 8. Then I began to increase my pace with each mile. I did not feel fatigue until mile 12
  • I misjudged the finsih line and sprinted too soon - epic fail

Take Aways:

  • No matter how many times I tell myself that my intention was not to finish a sub 2:00 half, I still deal with a twinge of regret - If I had just weaved more... If I had just started to increase my speed at mile 6... Why did I sign-up for the back-to-back race anyway...
