I�just got back from the Nike Womenapos;s Half Marathon.� I�did a 10k in July but this is my first BIG event, through TNT.

And let me just say...


IT�ROCKED

The preview run had me a little scared, the hills+dust upset my allergies.

But this time?� Dude.� By mile 5 I�still had to remind myself that I�was the one propelling myself forward.��I�detected the motion but not the effort.� I was joyfully hurdling garbage cans and traffic cones.

The hills were perfect just for reminding me "oh yea, muscles" and by the time I started to feel a tad like walking, they leveled out.� I only started to feel tired by the last mile, at which point we passed our coach, who ran us in to finish.

We stopped momentarily for a quick picture in front of the Golden Gate, but other than that, ran the whole way, and made my goal time of 2:30.

I am very anxious to see the official times for the splits for my actual pacing, since there was a lot of dodging and weaving around walkers for the first three miles, and the start was so slow (sardine residual), but the page is leaving me in suspense with not loading or something.� Iapos;m hoping I�got a couple photos, too, since I�never got to see my 10k finish..boo.

So awesome awesome awesome.� The bottleneck at the finish sucked, I couldnapos;t sprint in and could barely get my foot over the time line.� Also sucked that they wouldnapos;t let me through to use the bathrooms right away.� Necklace and Tee-shirt can come later, really

There was so much questioning...should I�wear warm clothes at the start and toss them, or use the bag check, should I�pee first...

I ended up doing none of those.� Thought I might stop to pee along the way but didnapos;t want to wait.� I�didnapos;t drink as much water as usual or I�should, and I�didnapos;t touch my gels, but took the orange slices and bananas on the route.� So oopsie for breaking the rules for racing but it worked just fine. :D

It was the after that was the hard part.� The whole "ice bath" thing and standing in the cold, rough ocean for ten minutes after it all.� That wasnapos;t bad either, after the water started to feel warm, but I definitely needed the hot shower to warm up after that.� The weather was perfect for running, but not standing around still damp afterward.


We were excellently prepared for this.� It was awesome having our mentors and coaches to run with us toward the end.�While Iapos;m sure I�could have done it on my own...I�am SO�GLAD I did it through TNT.� The extra support, being a part of something bigger were awesome.� Iapos;m ready to train for a full.
