The expo was smaller than I expected, but I found a new pair of gloves and some new fuel gels to experiment with.\u00a0 Honestly, it&#8217;s probably best that I didn&#8217;t find a lot of things to buy.\u00a0 My poor wallet can&#8217;t handle it!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Saturday evening, we met up with a group of people for dinner, which is always fun.\u00a0 I have met some of the nicest people through running.\u00a0 It helps that they don&#8217;t look at me like I&#8217;m crazy when I say I&#8217;m going on an 18 mile training run (though they do think I&#8217;m nuts for getting up as early as I do to run before work).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Race morning arrived and the joke was that I actually got to sleep in.\u00a0 Getting up early to train does make those early race mornings just a little easier.\u00a0 The forecast was mid 30&#8217;s to low 50&#8217;s, with very light winds.\u00a0 I wore a running skirt and my long-sleeved Team New Skin shirt.\u00a0 I worried that I would be too warm in the long sleeves, but didn&#8217;t feel like wearing the tank and arm sleeves.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Let&#8217;s just say my instincts were right.\u00a0 It was cold.\u00a0 I had purchased a cheap blanket at IKEA to wear before the race and I was so glad I did.\u00a0 I wished I had kept it for the first mile or so.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">But on to the running.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Now, here&#8217;s the problem. I get race brain.\u00a0 I tend to forget courses almost immediately.\u00a0 It&#8217;s why I have no problem running the same race over and over again.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t remember that I was there.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The course was enjoyable.\u00a0 Jen and I started off the race together.\u00a0 Unfortunately, the streets for the first mile or so were a bit rough.\u00a0 Lots of patchwork.\u00a0 I didn&#8217;t have any trouble, but somewhere between miles 1 and 2, Jen and I saw a girl who had clearly face planted.\u00a0 She was bleeding profusely from somewhere on her face, and they were bringing an ambulance for her.\u00a0 She was conscious though, and I hope she&#8217;s okay.\u00a0 Lesson?\u00a0 Make sure you pay attention to the running surface.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The crowds for this race were awesome.\u00a0 Lots of cheer groups out, and hilarious spectators with GIANT signs with their friends&#8217; faces on them.\u00a0 I&#8217;m glad my friends haven&#8217;t made a 3 foot tall cutout of my head.\u00a0 That would be terrifying.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I was really impressed with the number of volunteers.\u00a0 Maybe I just noticed them more because of the color of their sweatshirts and because our friend Suzanne was volunteering, but they were everywhere!\u00a0 Definitely a good thing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">It&#8217;s a hilly race, but I like hills.\u00a0 What goes up must come down, and I love the feeling of flying down a hill.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Around mile 9.5, Jen told me to go ahead of her.\u00a0 Since I&#8217;ve been marathon training, this was a step back week for me, and I think I was pushing her a little too hard.\u00a0\u00a0 I felt bad leaving her, but I wanted to try for a sub-3 to finish my racing season strong (I&#8217;ve been lollygagging a lot of my races as of late, and I need to get back to taking it seriously).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I had a great finish.\u00a0 I came in at 2:52:45.\u00a0 No, that&#8217;s not fast by any means, but my PR is 2:48:33, so this was an awesome race for me.\u00a0 It turns out it&#8217;s my fourth fastest half, and in the three faster races, I had set out to run PR races.\u00a0 To run this fast as a surprise feels awesome!\u00a0 I know it has a lot to do with marathon training &#8211; having run 16 miles the weekend before, 13.1 didn&#8217;t feel so scary.\u00a0 I think that next fall, I may try to run this race again and work for a PR.\u00a0 Not committing to anything yet, but I think it&#8217;s possible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">After the race, I grabbed a heat sheet, though I didn&#8217;t think I would need it.\u00a0 Oh my goodness, I am glad I had it. Sometime during the race, the clouds showed up and the wind picked up.\u00a0 It was COLD.\u00a0 Jen noted while we ran that my legs were bright pink from the cold.\u00a0 I didn&#8217;t even notice.\u00a0 After the race, they had hot chicken broth, which sounds so strange, but it tasted so good!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">All in all, an awesome finish to the 2012 distance racing season.\u00a0 Next up, marathon.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/elbowglitter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/wpid-2012-11-18_16-19-24_988.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"2012-11-18_16-19-24_988.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/elbowglitter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/wpid-2012-11-18_16-19-24_988.jpg\" alt=\"image\" width=\"189\" height=\"335\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Sunday, I ran my last big race of the year &#8211;
