Race peer strain will get me each time… Between Kaydi and Beth, I needed to go do that race with them. I raced the weekend earlier than and had little or no sleep the last few nights however couldn’t say no.
Two items of bread + banana + apple sauce + caffeine gel, all earlier than the race began. I additionally sipped on pina colada Liquid IV (Code: HUNGRY-RUNNER-GIRL will get you 25% off and free delivery HERE!) on the best way up.
We drove to the parking zone to leap on some buses and acquired to the beginning line at round 5 am. The race began at 6, so we sat on the bus for a couple of minutes earlier than heading to the porta-potty after which jogging to the beginning line about .75 miles away.
I took gels at miles 4 and eight and tried to attach my music on my watch once more however couldn’t get it to work (AGAIN), so I grabbed my telephone out of my Koala Clip (code HRG10 will get you 10% off) and was in a position to flip it on at mile 5ish. I wanted a beat.
It felt prefer it had been a really very long time since I final raced a half marathon (10 months!), and the gap felt longer than I had remembered;) For much longer.
That final mile damage so unhealthy however I saved reminding myself that it wasn’t going to kill me. For some cause reminding myself of that helps me to endure… it helps me to take my dramatic ideas down a notch.
I’ve formally worn the Vaporfly 3s for 3 races now (Boston, Utah Valley 10k, and this race). My verdict= I don’t really feel a distinction between them and the Vaprofly 2. I really like the 2s and 3s, however they genuinely really feel the identical. I really like the pink/orange shade combo of the 3s extra, although:).
I’d love to listen to from anybody else that has used each… I could also be means off on this one.
Put up-race= my favourite social hour.
And a lot enjoyable on the sofa. I’ve by no means been so sore in my life.
