Tomorrow is the big day and I am a bit nervous. Last night I watched this preview video of the route and it looks like a lot of hills. I know that I can easily run 8.5 miles {my longest training run was 10 miles about 2 weeks ago}. I also have no shame in walking, I just hope that my training pays off and I can complete the course.
Looks like miles 2-5 are a little uphill, nothing drastic just constant. The really nice part is how tree lined that section is so it looks like it will be shady. Then from 5-13.1 is downhill. Yes, a rolling downhill, but downhill. And that last half-mile as you come across and down the bridge, holy awesome you are going to crush that. Looks like a great course and you have trained for this. You can do this, and even if your nervous in your mind you body knows you can do this.
I just picked up my packet with number and t-shirt from the convention center downtown. Pretty exciting :) Thank you for the encouragement Luke... I think I just have last minute jitters.
