What a HOT day for a race!
At race time, temperatures were already 78 and humid. The day before it was 22 degrees cooler. We all knew this was going to be tough!
Kristy (my daughter) completed her first half-marathon with Dad pacing her the whole way. Her goal was 1:45 which she just about made with a time of 1:46! Way to go Kristy!!
In addition, Taylor Myers was competing in his first full marathon. More to come on that in a little bit.
The gun went off and we were on our way. Within a half mile there were already people complaining about the heat. Cloudy and overcast but we knew the sun was coming!
Here is another pic of Kristy just before the start:
As you can see, she's ready to go!
The run for the first few miles was fast. We were on a 7:24 pace and looking good. By the time we got to mile five, we were well ahead of many in the pack. Here we are going left at Baker Park in the heart of downtown Frederick:
Our pace slowed down as Kristy's stomach began to give her problems, as well as the heat. Being her first, it is normal to go out too fast and then begin to fade. I've done that plenty of times. LOL
But, in the end, she did finish and here are a couple of pictures to show!
Way to go Kristy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
