Weather: 41 degrees, overcast, humid and cold. 9 mph wind, wind chill 35.
What I wore:
Lululemon Pacebreaker shorts
Mizuno Breath Thermo running crew
Under Armour compression sleeveless undershirt
Mizuno Breath Thermo cap
Nike gloves
Thorlo socks
CEP Calf Compression Sleeves
Hoka One One Bondi B shoes
How it felt: really good. I wore a throw-away polarfleece to the event start, and kept it on until right before the gun sounded. The hat came off within the first two miles, and the gloves by mile 3, but I put the hat on/took it off, as I needed to. I was freezing afterwards, but felt great during the half. Avg heart rate: 160 bpm. The Hokas were amazing to run in. They've saved running for me.
I loved this race, I don't think it could have gone better. Well, OK. I did get a blister on my right Achilles, but really, that's it. :-)
