S5E35 Dirty Kiln Half Marathon
from Only Eye Athletics Podcast Hosted by Only Eye Athletics
Good test to see where I’m at right now. Overall, I felt pretty good. Weather was solid and the course was in great shape. I missed my goal time of 1:45, but honestly that was a pretty ambitious target. Through the first loop, the leader and I were on about a 1:40 pace, which I knew was probably too fast. I didn’t play the second loop very well. I saw him walking a hill early on and thought with more hills coming later, I could save energy and catch him with a strong push. But I never really switched into attack mode. I let the gap grow, lost sight of him, and mentally backed off. I walked more hills than I should have—hills I could’ve and should’ve run to stay competitive. I definitely left a lot in the tank. Even right after finishing, I knew I had more to give. Physically, I still felt about 90%, which says a lot. #DirtyKilnHalfMarathon #HalfMarathon #TrailRunning #TrailRunner #RaceRecap #RunningMotivation #RunYourRace #DistanceRunning #EnduranceAthlete #RunnerLife #RunHappy #RaceDay #RunningCommunity #RunStrong #ChasingGoals #Sub2Half
