I was pushing through to the very end - but still didn't quite make my goal of breaking two hours in the Half Marathon. Finish time: 02:04:23. I'm okay with it now. But it stung a little at first. Actually I was pretty disappointed. 2019 was a big race year for me. I did my first ultra marathon in January - a 50K in sub-freezing temperatures. I also PRd in the 5K distance in April. Summer races included an Urban Marathon (pushing an Ainsley's Angels rider), and another 50K - on trails this time. I felt physically prepared going into the Route 66 Half Marathon in the fall.
The weather was perfect. I felt really good. I didn't sleep well the night before, but thought I'd still be okay. I was. Nothing hurt, I didn't fall, I stayed positive. I just didn't get the pace locked in like I wanted. Life goes on!
