Queens Half

Ran the queens half on saturday. It was a morning race, so I thought it would be cooler. But nope, it was a temperature breaking day for new york in July.

The race was good though, I really appreciate running a NYRR race. They do a great job setting up the course with clocks at every mile, water stops with gatorade and a fire hose.

I started out with the chase pack, but everyone slowly got picked off and I had no idea what my position was.

I ran the first 5 miles at around 5:45 and then lost about 5 seconds each mile from there.

Ended up getting 4th, but was so delirious after the run and didn't have a clue what my position was I decided that there was no way I got 4th and it was really 14th.

Pretty tired on sunday night, slept 10 hours, a first for the summer.
