goneroundthebendWell...the race is over...everyone is packed up and ready to head back home--though since my train doesn't leave until tomorrow afternoon, I have another day to hang around.
Today started out a *little* cool, but as soon as the sun came up the mid-40's quickly crept in to the 50's and by race start was in the mid to high 50's. The sky was *clear* blue (unfortunately I didn't put on enough sunscreen in the *right* places. ~_~;; ) and the winds were calm though it picked up a bit later in the race.
Nothing like the 25-gusting-to-35 stuff yesterday's time trial skaters saw, but enough to knock you back right when the fatigue was beginning to creep in.
I think this was my personal best time for a 1/2 marathon--51m57s. MAYbe if I had kept that pace line up a little bit longer I *might* have been able to break the 50 min. mark but...ahwell...it seemed good enough to come in 9th overall (pretty small field here though), 3rd overall female.
