Lachine 2021 half marathon
Back to the index Last time I did this race in 2016 I said I would not do it again because the double loop we have to do is no fun, but the pandemic hit, I have been almost two years without a race, so when this opportunity knocked, I took it. Today I fared much better than my last time there, I did a sub-2, which is always nice. But I wasn't all that happy with my finishing time. I did this race in 1h57m51s. I have done better times than this during my training sessions... I had to stop to walk five times in the last seven kilometers. A half marathon should not be this hard. I don't understand what went wrong today. Maybe I did too much tapering. I usually don't taper much for races, but this time, because it had been so long since my last race, I did a full week of taper. Maybe taper and me don't mix well... At the end of my race one of the volunteers asked me if I was ok, so I think I looked bad after crossing the line... :-)
