Runners--how was your race?

I had a great time, despite the wind. Ran with friends, ran with a smile, finished faster than I ever have before (this was my 3rd). Final time 2:26 and change.

How about you?

  • Congrats on the race!!!!

     

  • That's a great time!!  Congrats!

    I felt great for the first 8 miles and then my legs felt like lead.  I'd NEVER felt like that on a run before ever, so I don't know what the issue was.  Lack of sleep?  Not enough prerace fuel?  I watched the 7:30 pacers go by me, then the 2 hour pacers, but tried to keep them in site.  Honestly, I almost felt like walking (which I've never felt like before either).  I sprinted the last quarter mile and felt like dying and crying.  I crossed the finish line after 2 hours (2 hours and 11 seconds) so I wasn't sure if I'd met my goal (under 2 hours) since I didn't know when I crossed the start.

    I was very happy to find my chip time was 1 hour, 59 minutes and 40 seconds.

    And I'm icing my ankles and hip as I type this. :-P

    Two Hour Club next year! Great job! :) Bummer about your legs, though. That sucks. Way to kick at the end regardless! 

  • Congrats to those who participated!  DH was a volunteer handing out ribbons and metals and he was freezing, but so impressed by you runners.  What an accomplishment!

  • You 25K-ers are awesome! Yes I was really happy with my time of 1 hour 4 minutes for the 10k. I ran with a friend and she really pushed me, I generally am a very slow, but steady "runner" but we kept a constant pace, lots of chatting, and finished strong. It felt amazing!

    That sounds like a great run :) Congrats!

     

  • Congrats to all of you!  Braving that weather is a feat in itself.
