This was a tough race, but a good test for Ironman. I didn't have much in terms of expectations and I really wanted to test my nutrition and legs for Lake Placid, but I'm pretty happy with it.

Also, a quick shout out to reginaphalange72 - she did great!!

Here is my race report...

Hague is where the OWS is, that I do in late August, so I am familiar with how hilly that area is. Very badass. I am especially impressed with a 2:16 run on those hills. Next stop, IMLP!

I'm not sure I'm getting much recovery this week! One last big build before tapering!

I've considered that OWS. Maybe someday!

Thanks trigal! It was good to see you again! Awesome job!

That course was absolutely BRUTAL. I finished in 7:39:11. My half last year was something around 6:45, so that was quite a bit slower, but I don't think the two courses (the other was the VT Half Journey) even compare. I had a busy weekend, so I didn't get to write a race report yet, but I will tonight or tomorrow.

Feeling ready for IMLP now!
