I have been recalcitrant in posting about this race because it was such a disappointment. I devoted a whole training cycle (my Fall semester) to this race. It was only a 9 week program, and perhaps that is why it led to such a slow race.
My race support team (wife) wasn't able to make the trip. Maybe that is why I raced so slow.
The race was on November 10th, 2018. I ran it in 24 minutes and 1 second according to chip time.
My prerace dinner was also a bit of a downer. I ordered a nice pasta with ragu sauce. But the chef was really into their hot spices and it was too warm for my palate.
The room had a nice view of Cannery Row.
I'm trying to comfort myself in thinking that I ran 3.1 miles at a 7:45 pace. If I could extend that another 10 miles, that would be a new half marathon PR.
There were some hills, it was crowded at the start line. I'm not sure why that would result in increase of over a minute from my Stroke Awareness run. Perhaps the 80/20 plan by Fitzgerald just doesn't work for me. I don't want to go back to Hanson's, still feeling burnt out on it, but I don't have the time for Hudson's plan either. I'm going to try and build my own training plan, probably a mistake, but hey, it's only a hobby.
I declined the medal at the end of the race. I didn't feel like I had earned it.
