Little Dell from home. Lots of

wind and first flat of the year. Not cool. 

45:00/8:27

easy from home. Followed with some hiit legs and ab workout. 

Oh man this race was tough for me. Went in confident and excited to see what I could do. Josse decided to pace me the whole way which saved me. I could tell pretty early that my legs were gonna be tired and by mile 8 I was ready to walk the rest of the way. Jos kept me going even through my head battle and I finished pretty close to my goal. Ithere were times where my breathing felt pretty out of control and when I took my gel it made my breathing go way out of control. Maybe this just comes with pushing yourself harder but it was a new experience to breath hard for most of the race. With all the twists and turns my watch clocked 13.2+ so if I would have run the tangents better I think I would have been under 1:38. Good mental test for me today. 

Nutrition before:  banana, almond butter , hard boiled egg and milk

During: 1/2 a 5hr at start, hammer gel at about 1/2 way
