So, I ran (and walked) my first half marathon of the season. It didn't go as I would have liked but to be honest I didn't expect much more then I got. I haven't said much about it to anyone as it is just one of those events that I would rather not think about. For those that know me or read my blog, you know the outcome. Slow at the start, end up walking much of the last few miles all the while battling the GI mystery that no one can figure out. So, that about sums it up! Oh but here is a nice picture of
Julie and I before the race. (Thanks for being such a good picture taker Julie!)
Moving on....
I went with the Speedplays. I have only done two trainer rides on them but so far so good. I think I will get a better feel for them and the new shoes once I hit the road. Thanks to everyone for all of your suggestions and thoughts about the whole peddle decision. They are always much appreciated.
I love my speedplays! Good choice. Oh well, pity parties are OK for a bit. Bad races are important so we remember what the good ones feel like!
ReplyDeletePity parties end, then the real parties start. I have a red specialized transition with speedplays too!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the racer, being a non runner and a biker, I understand what you mean. I have my first half mary this weekend, and feel just like you about it
ReplyDeleteSweet ride! I love the pic of you and Julie! I am sorry your race was't what you wanted. But I am sure it will come around!
ReplyDeleteNice bike! Hope you figure out what's up with the GI situation I know that is never fun!
ReplyDeleteYou got through it, you move on! It's a long year ahead and lots of time to figure it all out.
ReplyDeleteBike looks great!
You will get this all figured out!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry your race didn't go as well as you would have liked! Those GI problems just suck!! I really hope you're able to figure it out soon!
ReplyDeleteYay for the new speedplays! I'm interested in hearing how you like them.
Let me know if you still want to meet up some time!?
