8th stand alone half marathon & 10th overall - PR by 12 minutes 56 seconds! #happygirl
I have my next time goal in mind (read: I've been checking out early fall races), but I have to be pleased with such a strong PR. I love seeing all of my current training pay off. I felt strong the whole time and even felt good after the race. There have been so many races where I've felt nauseated after I'm done, but now that I have my nutrition on lock, it is so much more enjoyable to race and then feel good afterward, too!
I am now officially excited for my half Iron in 2 weeks. White Lake is going to see a whole new athlete this go 'round!
Because I am a nerd and like to document random stuff so I can know what works/doesn't work:
Saturday morning snack: beach bum smoothie from Tropical Smoothie Cafe
Lunch: salad & mac'n'cheese from Whole Foods hot bar, peanut butter chocolate chip cookie
Dinner: brown rice, broccoli, Worcestershire chicken
Breakfast: toasted cinnamon raisin english muffin w/ smart balance, Oh's cereal in the parking lot before race
During race: 1 bottle of Infinit (single scoop) from start until mile 11, refilled and drank about half of the 2nd bottle
