We did it. By Saturday night, I was a nervous wreck. I wanted to go out to my friend’s party but I understood that it would have taken a lot of energy out of me and I would have struggled in the race. I was in bed my 9 and woke up several times in the night.
We met with Coach Al at 6.15 for the pep talk and stood waiting for the start. Our pace group made the finish line at about 7:20. I realize that my pace at the beginning was very slow because my Nike watch was not calibrated properly. I was a couple of minutes per minute off unfortunately.
It all worked out in the end and I am glad I had the opportunity to participate in the fun event. I was exhausted and beaten up but right as rain by Monday night. I look to the ½ marathon in Oakland and will work towards improving my times over the coming months. GO Team!
