RACE: 0 warmup on this race, cause a bus broke down, so the race started late. First half was golden, all down hill. Then the rolling hills came and I started to feel the pain. The entire race I kept sight of Natalie, hoping for come back of the year part 2, but every time I got iclose there was a down hill and might I she is way better at down hills than I am. I crashed hard after mile 10, slowed waaaay down. Last 400 meters someone was approaching me, after Bill had already passed me, and I decided to not let him pass me, and I have to say sorry to him, he was 2nd in my age division.
Then 5 mile cooldown from you most definately know where. Oh how I hated it. Bill wants me to run 5 more ... I dunno. I probably will
But anyways first half marathon ever at 6:23 pace doesn't seem to bad... PM: 5 miles, my calves don't hurt anymore. It felt awesome, Bill was right.
