i think i mentioned before that by mile 10 (and certainly half way-- my scalp and arms were tingling), i knew it wasn't my day. i tried to slow down a bit to still hit my sub 3 goal (and prevent meltdown) but as you can see, that didn't work. i will say this...the last 4-5 miles was probably the most difficult 45 minutes to an hour of athletics i've ever experienced. when the wheels came off (i couldn't breath, my stomach was locked up, and my legs were cramping), i wanted to quit. so i guess i'll take a moral victory on that one. over the last 5 miles of the race i kept reciting my cell phone number to myself so i could give it to the person that found my laying on the side of the road (robin had it). luckily that didn't happen. but there were some sad casualties in chicago.
it has taken me less than 24 hours to decide that i need to try again soon. maybe this spring, or in june at grandmas? tbd. but, i know i did something right in training, but i also know that there are something(s) i need to fix.
so, i guess i'll be resting for a few weeks. which is alright, because i have a lot of work to get done for school.
