I will give a more detailed race report later... Everything felt great until mile 24, I still maintained and finished just ove 1 minute of mt goal time. The weather was brutal, rainy and a head wind the whole time!
More to come....
I am now sitting at work and I feel like a kid when Christmas is over!!! There is so much build up and hype prior to Christmas and then BAM it's all over! This is just like training for a marathon, long miles, early mornings, races, new shoes, lot's and lot's of GU's and the list could go on forever. And then after just 3 long hours it's over!! I really never wanted the race over until mile 24, I just wanted to be running the race. My friend Dan always says, it's more about the journey than the finish! I have met a lot of great people over the past 17 weeks, and I am glad that my wife had a full summer to train this year.
Split's for the race. I typed a long race report and hit save draft & edit prev and lost the whole thing??? I may or may not retype it?
