Happy to be back on the podium 🥈and in the prize money 💰 with a 2nd place finish at the @clevemarathon #ClevelandHalfMarathon today! Congrats to all the #runners 🏃🏻🙌. While the “flat”road speed felt like it definitely was not quite there (I don’t even remember the last time I ran a sub 5:20 mile in a workout 😂). It was great to feel that lactate burn and get some good HR data around threshold at sea level again. I kinda positive split like a N00b, but held a pretty steady HR effort and moved up in position as the race progressed. Breathing was hard all the way!! Certainly a shock to the legs and lungs again given the relative humidity and my typical lung scar tissue area pain. Overall though a great experience with a nice organization and tour of #cleveland 🏙️. Thanks to my parents and @sandinypaver for coming out to support and for all the people cheering and who a met. Also the race organization, sponsors and volunteers 🙌! What an awesome #runningcommunity 🏃🏻🙌. Okay back to #mountainrunning and longer races now 🏔️🤣! @hoka @compressport @corosglobal @strava @spring_energy @drymaxsocks @athletebloodtestcom @tracer_fitness @squirrels_nut_butter @camelbak #anysurfaceanydistance #higherrunning @higherrunning
