It was a windy & cold day for a half marathon race - but we sucked it up and did it anyway. The wind was outrageous - 25 mph steady, that didn't include the gusts. I'm so glad we didn't have any time goals other than to finish!
Which we did! It wasn't fast - although we did run it faster than I thought - so that's always good - especially when it didn't hurt. The wind did though - it was a steady cold headwind for the first 3 miles, and then the last 5 were brutal (along the coast, where it almost carried you away).
Now that I'm racing for fun - I think I will have to rethink some of these winter races. Being hot & sweaty is much more enjoyable; even if it makes it tuff!
