Exercise Type: Run
Comments:
Much harder than I had anticipated. My legs just weren't in the shape I thought they were in, even though my breathing was fine. I guess not having done enough long runs and high mileage really took its toll. I think next time I'll not do a workout a week before either. Quads and hips started tightening up way earlier than last time and although I came through the halfway mark in the same time as I had at Marine Corp, I knew I was already losing steam. Started to get slower without trying to at mile 14 and from there it was downhill. Last 6 miles were brutal - I was merely trying to finish. Still, I'm glad I did it. My circumstances weren't ideal but when race day rolled around I did my best.
