Running race (Anniversary Waltz) 2:33:08 [3] 18.7 km (8:11 / km) +1083m 6:21 / km
(sick)
What a day!
Knew it was probably a bad idea to race as I have had this chesty cough, but just really really really wanted to try it and see how it went. Also had a slightly dodgy stomach in the morning.
Once I'd got going my chest was actually fine, I was running really well and absolutely loving it! By the end it just felt like a bit of a slog but I was expecting that, also felt a bit dodgy/just wanted to lie down but was expecting that as well.
However at the finish I just felt awful, massive headache and didn't want to eat anything (which never happens). So we just went home.
Anyway was sick in the car on the way home, and just got straight into bed once home as felt horrendous. After a few hours and a bath felt slightly better, and after dinner felt almost-fine again!
THEN realised I'd won the Under 23's prize wahooo!
Definitely did not do me any good, BUT overall I really really enjoyed it and was glad to have done it anyway, lots of fun :)
