Morning Run

OUC Half Marathon. I knew going into the race that my goal time was out the window because of the condition so I was focusing more on placing well. Top 5 was the goal. The race started and I was feeling decent. Was sitting in 15th place though. Then after just a few miles I started struggling. Not sure what was up. Legs got heavy and it felt like my energy crashed. But around 7-8 miles I felt like I could get going again. Very strange. I started picking off runners and from what I was told I finished 5th. The results even showed me in 5th right after the race. But come to find out I was actually 6th. I guess they added someone who didn’t have a bib from what I was told? It was a bit of an emotional roller coaster because at the awards table they went back to telling me I was 5th and even said I was top Floridian which would’ve won me $2K total. But it was confirmed I was 6th and 2nd Floridian so didn’t win anything. Not upset with the race I ran. Proud that I was able to bounce back through a rough patch. It’s more the confusion with my place that was tough. On to the next one. May run another half marathon soon if the legs recover well from today. Then it’ll be on to the marathon.
