Prude Ranch Races Race Report
I'll expand upon this on Monday night from Pasadena, California where I'll be for work.
However, Waverly and I drove to Fort Davis for the Prude Ranch Races Half Marathon - the first in Texas this year - and 5K.
Tough course (as The Woodlands Running Club's Vincent Attanucci can attest to as he ran the race in 2004, I believe.) I was really proud of Waverly as she ran the 5K. The first mile had a little bit of an uphill and she was running at altitude for the first time ever.
Last Saturday at Run The Woodlands 5K #182, she ran the course in the heat and humidity in 38:20. Today, she ran the 5K in 38:33, but this was at least a mile above sea level.
I ran the half marathon in 2:37:42. I made two (2) mistakes - assuming that there would be something open at 6 a.m. in Fort Davis to get something in my stomach and my shoes. On the former, I ran the race with the last bit of food going in at around 10:15 p.m. the night before. I carried my current road shoes, but I'm thinking "trails". So I took the pair that I ran 20 miles during Rocky Raccoon with Rick back in February.
After Waverly was going out on the bus to the 5K start point (and where the keys to the rental car were with her), I found out that we would be on the road the entire time and I didn't get a chance to change my shoes at all.
We had a great time. Lots more to expound on. It is a half marathon PR -- at altitude!
