Long Beach Marathon & Half Marathon
Finished my first half marathon
Long Beach Marathon & Half Marathon
This was a good race for my first half marathon...The poets-potties were aplenty, and the lines moved quickly, howver, they were nasty, even as early as 6:30 in the morning … MORE
This was a good race for my first half marathon…The poets-potties were aplenty, and the lines moved quickly, howver, they were nasty, even as early as 6:30 in the morning
the starting line was a bit crowded (I was in the 3rd wave), but it was only an issue for the first few hundred yards, then the wide roads on shoreline helped alleviate the crowd.
The weather cooperated for the first 30 min or so before the sun came beating down, which was a problem on the bike path along the beach (miles 6-10).
I had massive cramping and nausea (I think from the Nuun). I was used to super diluted nuun, and wasn’t expecting the sweetness from the mango orange flavor.
Glad I was able to finish my first half marathon. The medical staff were a huge help, and got me some electrolytes and ice packs in the tent…hopefully I can aim for a better time and possibly even run the full marathon next October
