Ignorance was bliss for my mind, not my body
My goal was to finish the race as unscathed as possible. I completed the race and now my entire body hurts, starring achy quads, blistered feet and tender ankles. I truly believe this is as unscathed as possible. I did not train and my body was not conditioned to run a half marathon.
Start slow. I knew this one from training for the 10 km, but it was a needed reminder. I needed to stay true to my abilities and avoid getting swept up in the energy at the start line. When I jog in the city and end up next to “actual runners,” I appear to be standing still. My pace is slow. And on race day, my pace was slow. This was the right call.
What I wore and ate. I’ve worked out in lululemon clothes for decades and know it works for me. I’ve also had Clif Bloks before, so I knew they sat well in my body. I had zero intentions of using the portable washrooms along the route, so didn’t want to introduce anything new into my system.Didn’t drink enough water. I didn’t carry any water on me and trusted I could hydrate along the route. I was right and wrong. There were enough water stations, but I didn’t drink enough at each opportunity.
