Joint Base Balad, Iraq. Satellite race of the Virginia Beach Rock n Roll Half Marathon.
Temp: 95 at the start, About 102 when I finished; Winds, 10-15 mph; Minor blowing dust
Got the T-Shirt and Medal...very nice! And a nice plaque for 3rd place.
3rd Overall in 1:25:47 Beat by a Ungandan and an Army guy...yeah yeah I know Little Bad Legs...
Not too bad overall, my time was where I wanted it, a bit slower, but I set a PR! The course was a tad short, so I may have ended up closer to 1:27, which is still a PR.
My training was not up to par and I did not feel great. I missed a lot of workouts and miles and I felt it. I will be on top of my game now as I do have a Marathon in 20 days!
I was followed by an AF Communications truck for about a mile and a half, they took video and lots of pictures of me for being the first AF runner and they did an interview at the end of the race. I asked them to email it to me, so hopefully I get it. |
