This was my first race since the marathon. Due to my bad experience at the big race and compounding injuries I had decided to take a break from running. I probably signed up for this early in the year.
It was super cold but the sun was shining. The race started in a giant park in Lincolnwood. They had a huge tent set up so we didnt have to be out in the cold too long. It was also a great place to hide out from the smoke of the tiny campfires that dotted the area. What were they thinking? Who wants to breathe in all that smoke pre run?
I made it two miles without walking. Not bad! The last mile was pretty bad. I had to urgently go to the washroom. This was part of the problem while marathon training. It's sudden and it's imminent!
Good thing it was a small race. I ran straight to the no-line port-o-potty after crossing the finish line.
Back at the tent they had all kinds of goodies. I got stretched out and grabbed some plantains from 90 miles to Cuba and soup from Lou Malnottis. All compliments of the race people.
