Second Race of the Year--- Make a Wish Foundation 5K 2/05/2011
Race was on a Saturday, had to change my schedule, moved Biking to Sunday and incorporate my long run with the 5K race. Felt tired from the morning Bike ride of Friday and 1700 meter Swim in the evening. Race was good, went too fast for the first mile, after first mile, I got in my pace and finish with a decent time, 22:16, 2nd Age Group.
First Race of the Year--- ING Miami Half Marathon 1/30/2011
I run the race as part of my overall half Ironman training. Did a Brick on Saturday, 1:45 hour biking and 30 minutes running. The idea was to maintain a constant pace during the half marathon. That half marathon started on time at 6:15 AM at downtown Miami, tempearture during race was 53 to 56 Degrees. It was a challenging race, going over bridges towards Miami Beach, the first bridge being the tallest one at 75 FT. It was a well run race a lot of volunteers, had a great time. I was able to run at 8:05 minute per mile, last mile was kind of tough, but then again I was in my 4th week of training, I only had done one 10 mile training run last weekend. Total time 1:45:42.
