Notes
1:14:07 official. This was really fun. I was worried my legs were trashed from the crazy day at work yesterday but I massage gunned a lot last night and felt pretty good for today. I sat in 3rd for awhile then around mile 6 ran with a couple guys for a few miles until I pretty much started kicking at mile 10 to catch up to the leader who had 60-90 sec on us the whole race. I passed him with about 1k to go as we were getting back in town. In the middle of the race I wasn’t sure I would be able to hold the pace but I finished really well so I need to trust myself more. I didn’t look at my watch much the last few miles so I didn’t realize I closed that quickly but it was really fun pushing and working to catch up to first place.
Grace was at the start, mile 8, then saw me kicking in the last mile and also somehow got to the finish right before I crossed. I took a Gu at mile 6 and had some water and Gatorade a few times throughout the race. Got a free taco afterwards and we went to a delicious breakfast place.
Definitely a good sign for Boston. 6 weeks…
