From Wimpy to Popeye; 1:52:52 with a piss stop

Run: 13.1 miles

The Carlsbad race went way better than expected. My chip time for the race was 1:52:52, although I had to take a bathroom break at the beginning of the race that took off at least a minute and a half of my time.

I got to the race a little late b/c of all the traffic. As I approached the start line the gun went off. My bladder couldn't handle the delicious cup of tea I had for breakfast and I had to hit the bathrooms before the first mile even ended. I got a good pace after that and kept it throughout the race. I am pretty stoked on my time. I probably kept around an 8:20 minutes per mile pace. I shaved off 11 minutes from my last half marathon. Looks like all the training is paying off.

I am back to the gym tonight. I need to get some miles in the pool and on the bike this week. We'll see how I do.
