For having to make a 3min porta potty stop on the course, I’ll take it! All things considered, could not be happier with a sub-2:50 in Chicago. Not quite the time I was gunning for, but a PR is a PR (including a new half PR 😅). By far, my most mentally tough race to date. Had a rough taper leading into the race with sickness and tendonitis. During the race I went out way too fast the first 8 (OTQ pace), so absolutely tanked and got passed nonstop the next 10. Grateful that my tendonitis was manageable, the food poisoning the day before only led to one mid-race bathroom stop, and I was able to collect myself mentally for the remainder of the race. Gonna recover really hard and then take another crack at CIM in 8 weeks with @danielouk for his marathon debut!
