We did it!
What surprised me most about my first half marathon is how busy it was and how many supporters were lining the road.
It was quite overwhelming to begin with, but the energy of the day really helped, not only as a distraction but as a real motivator.
I think both Heidi and I found the whole race very challenging. From the 12km mark we really had to motivate each other, our legs became very heavy, and it felt like they may cramp at any moment, so we took the decision at about the 16km mark to walk the hills. This had not been our original plan, we had hoped to run most of it, but we decided that we had to be strategic if we wanted to finish.
But the final 3km were really the most challenging, and Heidi was fantastic in keeping the talk positive and helping to push us to the finish line.
