Well I finally did it. Sub 4 hrs and no ambulance ride, it was a great day!! I would have really loved a 3:50 but I didn't and I am okay with it. I was glad to run with my mom and dad. (My dad is the reason I finally got under the 4hr mark, he stayed with me the entire time and didnt let me slack at the end, this was the first one that I was actually passing people, instead of being passed by a ton of people) We started out at a really conservative pace 1-9:43 2-9:36 3-8:55 4-8:27 5-8:49 6-8:23 7-8:27 8-10:13 (veyo) 9-9:31 10-9:30 11-10:03 (these were the worst miles for me, it started raining/hailing really hard and there was a ton of head wind-I was getting sick of the rain and being freezing cold) 12-9:28 13-9:01 14-9:14 15-8:35 16-8:22 17-8:47 18-10:00 (with a potty break) 19-9:32 20-8:50 21-8:30 22-8:48 23-8:41 24-8:40 25-8:49 26-9:09 .2-2:00
The best part was finishing and then getting to see Brandon-who had finished way ahead of me. He did Awesome!!! I am so excited for him.
The worst part was my hair- I really thought I was going to have to chop it. Some how it got all knotted up- it was a complete mess. It took me and my aunt 2.5 hrs to comb through it!!! OUCH! |
