Pre-Race Routine and Warm-Up:
Early morning wake up, 3 am for a 5:50 am start! Had Nan and Dave for early morning support, thanks!
|
Performance Comments:
Not good! Started off easy, really easy! A 9 min/mile pace. Thought that would get me to the end without too many
problems. Have been suffering from a shin splint for the past month and a half. It cut into my long distance training and it caught up to me around the 22 mile mark. Had to
start walking the aid stations, the legs had no energy left in them. It was another educational race.
|
What Would You Do Different?
Have to get into a sports doctor and have the shin splint looked after so that I can resume my endurance training.
|
Post Race Activities and Cool Down:
Lots of ice! Been trying to pull some of the inflammation out of the sore and tired muscles.
|
Event Comments:
A very fun race to do thru the theme parks.
|
Would You Do This Race Again?
Yes
