San Antonio Rock and Roll 1/2 Marathon

This will be a quick one.

Kelly and I travelled to San Antonio, TX to run in another Rock and Roll event.
We arrived on Thursday and the race was on Sunday. This gave us more than enough time to get used to the weather and eat some AWESOME tex-mex. We did just that.

San Antonio is a beautiful city. The Riverwalk is fantastic. We walked up and down the river and looked at the menus of the places that offered an option for Kelly (friggin' vegetarians!). We came across several.

Everything was in walking distance from our hotel: The Alamo, The Tower of Americas, The Alamodome, The Market Place (exceptional mexican food). It's a good thing that everything is in walking distance as there is no free parking anywhere.

So cut to race morning. I was feeling good after borrowing toilet paper from Kelly so that I could use the port-a-potty. All of the toilets were out except for Kelly's potty!! So I wished Kelly and her cousin, Kate, and Kate's bf, Jeff luck (it was Kate and Jeff's fistrace... EVER!). I stripped down to my t-shirt and shorts and ran around trying to find warmth before the starting gun.

As I made my way to the first corral, I was jogging along and missed a curb. I rolled my ankle but kept running to aviod humiliation. As it turns out, I was ok (phew).

The gun sounded and off we went. I reeled off impressive splits for the first 9 miles. At mile 10 I got a little dizzy and had to stop for 15 seconds. I got my senses back and off I went. I continued to hit nice splits and finished in a 1:24:59. What was my goal...? 1:24:59. I could not believe it!!! Right on the nose! It was meant to be, I guess.

Overall, a GREAT time.
Next up... the Troy Turkey Trot 10K. Goal time of 38:59.
