It's the day!! my first race tomorrow, a half marathon!! November 6, 2005
Posted by clayton in : workout , add a commentTomorrow is the half marathon. I still have a bit of a cold and a little cut in my mouth from soccer which really bothers me, it stings!!!. Physically, I'm not in the best condition. I went to get my racing number with my coach today and we looked around the course on the way back…My ears weren't wrong, the car engine was having a hard time. I asked the same question that I asked last week, 'Will I make it?' It gives me the chills when I think about that hill. Will I be able to climb it? Wouldn't I be dehydrated? and many other negative questions…If my cold is the same as today, I'm pretty confident of getting through the race in about 1hr50min. What happens if it gets worse? …….this is when music comes in to calm me down…and luckily, it always works.
Tomorrow…I know that I could get a fairly fast time once I finish the hill. I'm not a fast runner but I think I recover pretty fast. I'm better (or used to be better) on uphills rather than flats on the bike. Will I be the same with running? We'll see…Wish me luck!!! I really need it!!!
