This is without a doubt the worst race I've ever had. I had a great first 3 miles, and then I'm not really sure what happened. I just struggled to breathe and stopped twice to see if the medics had something for me. Both times they gave me a neb treatment. I'm trying not to dwell on it. I need another half marathon. This is not indicative of my training, and I want to redeem myself.

Sorry to hear you had a rough one - that sounds a little scary. Any history of allergies or asthma?

Hope you can find another race and get some redemption!

The nebulizermeister! Sorry you didn't have a good race. It happens. Believe me, it happens!

Keep at it, don't give up. Allergies are bad round these parts!

Thanks guys! I'm feeling less ashamed.
