So, I had BOTH during the Vancouver half this past Sunday. How did it go?
Well, the watch was easy, just start and go...or so I thought. Once I figured out during a walk break that I could change it from elapsed time to pace to whatever else...I was playing with that as much as possible. That was definitely on my mind A LOT. I need to figure out what I would prefer to see and make it a default (at least I think I can do that). Gotta get serious about no distractions! I can see how the avg. pace will be helpful during my training runs, so I'll have to see if that is something that I can set as my default...
I figured out that I should have trained with the hydration belt on the last two runs while wearing my skirt. I fidgeted with that until we got past Wintler Park. My skirt was riding up...twisting around...popping out underneath the belt...all of those things. Okay, lesson learned - definitely going to figure out the belt WITH the skirt by training with it during our long runs for the next half marathon we do.
The other thing that I'm thinking I might add would be the iPod...a little music wouldn't be a bad thing. Something to help me not focus so much on my discomfort. The little ache in my foot...can't breathe...oop, calf is hurting...etc.
In the end the thing that I am working for is this:
Race Bling AND bragging rights! Oh...and a PR...that's nice too :)
