Presque Isle Half Marathon, Erie, PA, USA

This was a nice little (~1000 finishers) race. The Erie Running Club provides good support for this fairly flat course. The most notable feature is a hairpin turn in the first mile. Most of the course has some cover from the sun, but this also reduces the amount of air flow. I noticed that I was pushing harder sooner in the race than in previous races.

The only significant issue, other than the heat, I had was severe thrubbage. I rubbed myself raw by the end of the race. I need to remember to wear my compression shorts or apply Body Glide. I didn't notice any issues with my ITB or my muscles.

I need to calibrate the stride sensor to my new shoes as it was reporting long.
