Here is another race report. I am really trying to keep my fitness levels at being able to complete a half marathon. After January’s epic Disney event, I have found my motivation to be slowly waning. This is a race I signed up for sometime last October as I knew that I would be needing some motivation to run around this time.
I literally flew 12 hours from Berlin, Germany…drove to the Orange County Fair Grounds and picked up my race packet. Then, I went back to my apartment and fell asleep. At 3 am I awoke, not because of a race, but because I had mad jet lag. Sometimes life works out in my favor. I drove back to the fairgrounds. We bused us from the fairgrounds to the starting line near Fashion Island.
I managed to finish and am always happy to complete the distance. However, my time of 2h 52m was way off my time of 2h 35m I had in Puerto Rico. I have shifted back to a 1m run/walk instead of the 2min run/1min walk I did in PR due to some IT band pain…the symptoms have disappeared, but so has my faster time.
At the end of May I will be in Scotland for my next Half Marathon! Really excited about that one.
