Today was Beat the Bridge. It was tough for me to go today. My mind and heart are elsewhere today, but I told myself that I had to run, and run hard. So I did. As I pushed my lungs and my legs to their limit, I was somehow free from all of my troubles. I wish I could run forever... but I know you can run, but you can't hide. I do not know what my official finish time was, but my Garmin says 47:40. Average pace per mile: 9:40. I am very pleased with me time! My official time might be rather wonky.. I started with the wave that was ahead of mine. I wanted to start with the rest of my team. I don't know what I was thinking when I signed up with such a slow estimated finish time. Dork. The photographer took a few shots of me. I wonder if they will turn out well... I'm sure I looked sweaty and nearly dead! LOL I never buy the race T-shirt... I'd much rather have a nice photo.
As it turns out, the timing chips used for the race malfunctioned, so no official net time was given. I will have to rely on my Garmin for this one.
