Apparently, I like my races in Iowa. This is the third one I've ran in now!
I ran a 27:12 this weekend as well. Which was tough considering that I didn't sleep well the night before, got up freakin early as the race was at 7a. Also, around the 1 mile mark I got terrible stomach cramps. Like I had to go to the bathroom or something. They kept up until just after the water station and the 2 mile mark. I ended up not having any water either as I reached for the glass and she let go of it too soon. I managed to catch back up to Brent at that time and ran with him the remainder. It was our first time finishing the race together! And we ran an 8:45 min/mi pace! He thinks that if I hadn't gotten that stomach cramp for a little over a mile, I would have beat him. but it was fun to finish together and totally kicked butt in the end too! We turned the corner and Brent asks "Are you ready?" I said "Yep!" and we turned on the afterburners!
It was a fun time!
