Sunday I used this race as a training 18 w/10@MP.

Woke up at 6:00am got there after getting lost around 8:30 headed to shuttle and start line by 9:30 and hung out until 10:30 start time. Did not get home until 3:00pm.

Weather: Was cool 50's, rainy, and a headwind that was noticeable but not overally taxing (headwind the whole 18 miles).

Details:
I started dead last on purpose. Figure to keep it fun and interesting I'd see how many people I can pass.

Mile 1-10 was non eventful had some fun out there going a bit faster than usual around 8:10 pace.

Mile 10 - 18 I kicked it in gear and was not sure how 7:23 would feel but I ended up running splits of around 7:17 consistently practicing my fluid intake. All worked out very well.

Results : Out of 900 people or so I came in around 96.

Pain: My nipples were bloody despite using New Skin (with rain I need to tape those bad boys up

chaffing under my arms was torturous when I got home to shower. I left my body glide at home.

Lastly, My toenail on my right foot was hurting during the run. I guess my foot grew or something but what's odd is the same shoe in another color causes me no issues. This shoe (bright yellow) lately has been causing issues to my toenail.

All said and done it was a successful training run. A bit beat up.

Next up is 10k race in Brooklyn this Saturday.

Good to know thanks. Not sure I will use that strategy in Philly. But maybe!
