May 26
Weather: COLD! A crisp, cool spring morning.
Goal: Run under 30:34
Result: 29:02 (PR!)
Fans: Mike was my big fan! Kara McDonald, my fellow running friend was running her first ½. It was Kara’s first 1/2 and I was psyched to cheer her on!
Review: It was cold and that unnerved me a bit since I was still figuring out the best attire for such a day. I knew I would get warm but the breezes off the Sound could be challenging. Mike reminded me that I had to have my head in the race and not psych myself out with negative talk about the weather. The course was nice and flat and started with a nice decline. Another wonderful surprise when I rounded the last corner and saw my time!
Ugh moment: The cold was an initial challenge but overall there were no “ughs” in this race!
